More than 50 years ago he foresaw the dilemma we face on the earth, and offered profound insight into its roots and a pointed to a path forward. His insight integrates the way we make meaning in western culture with a scientific understanding of the unfolding universe and the ecology of the earth.

John McMillin
feeding the hungry
