It is easy for non-organic farmers to spray their fruit with agent orange or whatever evil pesticide they have&#8230; Organic farmers have less to choose from and have to live more on trust&#8230; on faith&#8230; with their food being more vulnerable.<br \/>\nChurch will be at more risk when it is organic&#8230;because the people will be vulnerable. No man-made perservatives to keep them going &#8211; only the strength of the wholesome earth that they are immersed in. In organic church, we will only have God to keep us&#8230; there will be nothing man-made that will protect us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas has a great post on the Organic Church.
