Understanding the Vision of Beloved Community

What does Beloved Community look like?

Sharing Life Together: Southern Ohio Episcopal Service Corps

Every Thursday night a group of very different people gather around a table and share a bit of life together. They take turns cooking, setting the table, and inviting God’s presence into their midst. As they talk, laugh, share stories week after week, they are changed. Each of these young people is a member of […]

After I returned home from my first pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I experienced Scripture in an entirely new way. While I was traveling the land of the Bible, walking past the valley of Gehinnom (Hell), exploring the maze-like alleys […]
