“In exploring practices dealing with time ... we have encountered other Christian practices at every turn ... "The sabbath cannot live in exile, a lonely stranger among days of profanity ... The sabbath needs the companionship of all the other days (Abraham Joshua Heschel).”

“The Christian practice of receiving the day is made for people who have and are bodies. These bodies will operate, for awhile, on mere fuel ... but these bodies cry out for something better than fuel: they cry out for care, for nourishment, for exercise, for rest.”

“Eugene Peterson urges ... attention to the wisdom of Genesis .... Perceiving day's beginning at the darkening point teaches something important about who we are as human beings, he says. "The Hebrew evening / morning sequence conditions us to the rhythms of grace. We go to sleep, and God begins his work.”
