God and Nature Fall 2022

By Sy Garte and Aniko Albert
Welcome to the Fall edition of God and Nature!
Starting with this issue, we will feature three regular columns. Cheryl Grey Bostrom’s lovely nature photographs accompanied by scriptural verses, which have graced this magazine for some time, will now be posted under the regular column “On Camera: Scripture in Creation.” As we prepare to say goodbye to warm weather and green leaves, Cheryl leaves us a message of hope. We also introduce a new featured column called “Mathematical Theology” by Doug Phillippy. The first of a series of six essays on Mathematics and Christian faith focuses on the history of infinity in mathematics. This series will continue in the next five issues at least. And in our first and long-running column, “Across the Pond,” Mike Clifford gives us an in-depth portrait of Nottingham Geology Professor and active Methodist Henry Hurd Swinnerton, an early pioneer in the science-faith connection.
We are blessed with an essay from the brand-new Executive Director of the ASA, Janel Curry. Janel has published before in G&N, and we hope that her new duties will not prevent her from continuing to do so. The other three essays are also from past contributors. Pastor Dr. Mario A. Russo presents an enlightening view of how healing after deconstruction can occur, an important topic in these times. Ken Touryan discusses physical and spiritual realities in connection with the four natural forces, and Tony Mitchell presents a view of creation from the lens of the James Wood Space Telescope and other scientific findings along with biblical scholarship.
Finally, we are blessed with two poems in this issue, “Mystic Exile” by Alice Linsley and “A Call to Arms” by Lowell Hall.
Please enjoy this Fall issue and help spread the word about God and Nature to your friends and contacts in real life and online. We are always happy to receive your essays, poetry, photos, and comments. Please use the Submissions page to send us your contributions.
