The writer, Bill Tammeus, finds “there is something reassuring about finding the atoms that make up 2,000-year-old pottery shards, something that says that in God’s economy, matter matters,” and “we comfort ourselves with the understanding that what God created and called good, God does not intend to waste.”
Bill Tammeus, a Presbyterian elder, writes the daily “Faith Matters” blog for The Kansas City Star‘s website and a monthly column for The Presbyterian Outlook.
