NAC Blogs

“The words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.” – John 6:63
Words give us stories, lives, truth, hope, conviction, courage, understanding.
They help us encounter the other and help us share our witness and engage in education and advocacy.
Join us on our journeys on the margin and in making every day Earth Day.

for those living on the margin.

John "Jack" Lawlor, Jr., is Professor of History Emeritus at Reading (PA) Area Community College. He firmly believes all people have an obligation to be good stewards of the Earth, hand down a healthy planet to the next generation, and prepare them to do the same.

Jack's Environmental Stewardship Blog serves as an advocate's handbook on climate change and covers topics such as ecology, stewardship, climate, nature, our planet Earth, while also identifying ways to act.
