Understanding the Vision of Beloved Community

What does Beloved Community look like?

A Whisper of Something Else

By Anna Berger No one in the world knows you’re here, Atop this ridge with your rose-flushed face and the dirt smudges up and down your faintly aching legs, you are alone. But God is no one because God is the One and the world is God’s and there’s a whisper of something else in […]

Some Thoughts on Spiders

I’m surrounded by spiders. All summer it felt like everywhere I turned I saw spiders – they were in our house at camp – massive spiders scurrying in the corners and as I sat and wrote at the desk facing the fields, I saw spiders in the windows spinning enormous webs. I found spiders in […]
