  • A greyscale image of the tiny feet of a baby held in a pair of adult hands, with larger adult hands cradling both. The symmetrical arrangement of hands and feet somewhat resembles a heart. Behind the hands and feet, we can see a little of the clothes covering the baby’s belly.
    Later, poets would tell of stars, shepherds, and seers, songs of angels…

  • The sentence “Racism & hate have no place here” written on an otherwise blank page from a journal. A fountain pen and ink pot rest on the page.

  • In the foreground, the edge of a Christmas tree decorated with baubles and a blurred string of white lights. In the background, a blurred grouping of people indoors, as if at a restaurant or party.
    The winter holidays are beautiful and celebratory; they’re also hard and complicated.

  • The front cover of Tricia Hersey’s book “Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto”
    Embrace knowing that you have been manipulated and scammed by a violent system as powerful evidence. Now with this knowledge you can grieve, repair, rest, and heal.

  • The front cover of Tricia Hersey’s book “Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto”
    Resting as a form of resistance will be part of a lifelong unraveling. A mind shift, a slow and consistent practice filled with grace. We must imagine a new way, and rest is the foundation for this invention.

  • The front cover of Tricia Hersey’s book “Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto”
    Rest is a healing portal to our deepest selves. Rest is care. Rest is radical.… Rest is a form of resistance because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy.

  • Outdoors in a field, a person crouches near the ground. In their hand is a clump of soil, which they're displaying to the camera.
    May we recognize that our gardens and our lives can grow abundantly, even when we don’t understand how.

  • Outdoors, an older man and a younger woman sit next to each other. She is holding a folded book or pamplet, and he's looking at it while talking.
    There are many ways to connect.

  • A portrait of John Angell James (1785–1859) by William Derby, painted circa 1830. James is a middle-aged white man with dark brown hair and with thin sideburns from his ears halfway across his cheeks to his mouth. He is wearing a thick black coat with wide lapels, and is sitting on a heavy wooden chair with wooden arms and red upholstery on the seat and back. Behind him is some red drapery.
    “I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything; but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.” This quotation is often attributed to Edward Everett Hale, but WorshipWeb could find no evidence for this.

  • A white woman with dreadlocks and a colorful hairband, and a Black man with short hair dyed blond, sort food and clothing at a food bank. They are working at a table on which there are large plastic bins for clothes and smaller bins for bread and canned goods. Behind them are the windows of the room they are working in, with small potted plants on the windowsill.
    Our true wealth is the welfare of all beings and the planet that we all call home.

  • A black-and-white photograph of a white man sitting on a bench outside of a building, wearing sneakers, black pants, and a warm cloth coat. The man’s head is bent down, his forearms rest on his knees, and his hands are clasped between his knees. It looks as though he is troubled, or lost in thought.
    Figuring out the why doesn’t really help me. My work is to figure out the how.

  • A woman cups her forehead in her hand, as if crying. She holds a coffee mug in the other hand. In front of her, on a lap desk, is an open journal and a lit candle.
    After the shattering, all that remains is another ordinary day.

  • A map of the world from 1862, drawn using the Mercator projection. The oceans are shown in off-white, while the nations of the world are colored in pale shades of blue, red, and pink, as well as white.
    I don’t want a smoothed-out, disproportionately aggrandized faith that attempts to draw all comers to its one self-righteous place at the top of the map of humanity… Instead, I want an imaginative and wandering faith of holy cartographers…

  • A tree with a large reddish-brown trunk and many branches, whose green leaves create a canopy that covers the sky from our perspective. A portion of another large tree can be seen to the left. The lighting seems to make the tree and the ground at its feet glow.

  • Against a pale blue cloudless sky we see a leafless tree on a small rise in the desert. The light brown earth surrounding the tree is mostly covered by dark grey-green scrub. Behind the tree there is a rocky outcropping.
    Silence is never merely a cessation of words… Rather, it is the pause that holds together—indeed, it makes sense of all the both spoken and unspoken.
