Md. pastor pedaling 250 miles to benefit camp kids

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — A bicycle-pedaling pastor from western Maryland says there’s a spiritual aspect to his physical exertions.
The Rev. Ed Poling of the Hagerstown Church of the Brethren is setting out Wednesday on a 250-mile bike trip to Pittsburgh.
Poling says that besides marveling at God’s creation, he will raise money during the trip to send more children to summer camp so they, too, can learn to love the great outdoors.
Poling says people can better experience God outdoors by observing wild plants and animals and thinking about their maker.
He says kids who spend most of their time indoors are less inclined to take care of the Earth.
