I being a Pastor in a small church in a small town that modernization and development have passed by am not normally thrust into the spotlight. But this week while attending a town meeting updating us on the current situation, I found myself being asked to sit and be interviewed

Apache Stronghold invites us each to light the fire on March 30 and announce our struggle for the sacred. Our fires will warn evil, the monetizing evil that threatens sacred Oak Flat, that we are here for the life that God gives, not the money and power that copper ostensibly provides.
