Comments on: Book: Tending To Eden by Scott Sabin http://pastoralia.org/culture/book-tending-to-eden-by-scott-sabin Welcome. I'm a husband, a father, an ordained minister, and a postmodern pilgrim. You can check out some of the projects I'm involved with below. In this space I mostly write about the intersections of Christianity and culture.

As such, I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times at the RE:FORM/LTTG conferences. I must confuse, though, that my wife knew him better as she on staff at the Vineyard Boise organizing the conferences and coordinating efforts across several different organizations including Floresta, Restoring Eden (Peter Illyn), and A Rocha. My main focus was on leading the local ministry within the church and the surrounding community.

I'm pretty impressed with Floresta/Plant With Purpose as well. <strong>Julie -</strong> Social Justice has a pretty broad spectrum of practical meanings, depending on the context in which it's being used but they generally all have to do with caring for the poor. Scott doesn't advocate wealth redistribution. Josh - How did you meet Scott Josh? I’m pretty impressed with Floresta/Plant With Purpose as well.

Sorry, but I'm not into (nor do I support) the "redistribution of wealth" philosophy held by progressive thinking (which I consider dangerous enough on it's own). Maybe there's another definition of social justice that I'm not aware of? He had me until he said “social justice” – then he lost me.

I will definitely have to read this book. I have been very impressed with Scott Sabin and his ministry ever since I met him a few years ago. I will definitely have to read this book.
