	<em>All this week, we&#39;ll be releasing excerpts from our <strong>Au Sable Graduate Fellows Conference with Wendell Berry</strong> this past January. The Conference title, <strong>&quot;For the Love of God&#39;s Earth,&quot;</strong> delved into a theme Berry has explored in his Jefferson Lecture and in his most recent collection of essays, &quot;It All Turns on Affection.&quot; As part of the Conference, the Au Sable Graduate Fellows, a community of 40 Christian graduate students across 10 major public research universities who are engaged in studies and research on the care of God&#39;s creation, had the opportunity to speak with Berry during a two hour Question &amp; Answer session.</em></p>
<p>
	These next two excerpts demonstrate the depth and range of Berry&#39;s thought. In one of the most fascinating parts of the Q&amp;A, he discusses the other matter that he has been researching and puzzling over most recently (in addition to &quot;science&quot;; see <a href="/news_and_resources/blog/wendell_week_on_science_and_teaching#.U6rmUPldVIE">Day 1</a>), which is nature&#39;s role and description in the Western literary tradition. He follows this response with a description of the hymns that have been meaningful, and two that have not, in his own life, which leads to a description of how the Civil War still affects Kentucky and the broader effects of war on community and country. Each shows Berry&#39;s love and knowledge of literature and his commitment to place.</p>
