Text: Genesis 1
We consider the monumental achievement of the 1968 Apollo 8 mission and the reading of Genesis 1 from lunar orbit. What makes this truly interesting is the time-coloring of that reading - in the midst of a time of national turmoil. The reading of Genesis 1 by the Apollo 8 astronauts was a symbol of unity and much-needed perspective shift for a nation in tumult.
As people who one again find ourselves in a time of similar national turmoil, we stop and consider the reminder from three astronauts who read Genesis 1 from lunar orbit.
