  • Sitting on a couch, with only their torso and upper legs visible, a dark-skinned person wearing jeans and an olive T-shirt leans forward with their elbows on their knees. In one hand they dangle a military dog tag, and a similar tag is visible hanging from their neck outside of their T-shirt.
    As citizens of this democratic nation, we’re all complicit in its wars and conflicts.

  • An woman wearing an olive T-shirt and camo pants, suggesting a military veteran, leans forward in her chair, hands together, towards a counselor who's seated with a clipboard of notes on her lap.

  • From behind, from the neck down, a military service member is shown wearing camouflage holds his rucksack in front of a house's doorstep. An American flag hangs next to the front door.
    My Universalist theology guides me to remind our veterans that they are not defined by their worst moment or action.

  • A child wearing headphones and a blue hooded coat sits on a bench facing a wintry landscape of snow, dead grass, and bare trees. Their dark hair is pulled back, and their back is to the camera.
    May you know, deep in your bones, that none of this is your fault. May your heart remain soft enough to love and strong enough to protect itself.

  • A rough-hewn bronze statue of a man embracing a child who is just a little shorter than he is. In the background, blurry, are some tree branches, a signboard, and a building. The statue is Charlie Mackesy’s “Return of the Prodigal Son,” found outside Holy Trinity Brompton Anglican Church.
    Addiction thrives in isolation and shame—two things that are deeply opposed to the message of Jesus.… The Parable of the Prodigal Child and addiction share profound themes of isolation, shame, and the redemptive power of love and community.

  • A lone person walking on the red-tiled floor of the Great Hall of the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. They are walking through a patch of the floor that is reflecting light from a window that is out of the frame. The person looks blurry and somewhat disjointed because they were moving while the camera’s shutter was open.
    We need church community to be a space where people can speak honestly with one another about their experience—whether in recovery, in addiction, or even in relapse.

  • A person with dark skin, wearing denim overalls, is partially seen kneeling on the floor. They are holding a long-handled paintbrush and dabbing yellow paint on a paint palette that rests on the floor, at the level of the camera. They appear to be in the middle of a painting in a studio.

  • The head and upper torso of a large statue of a woman with her eyes shut and a calm expression on her face. The grey concrete of the statue has large and small cracks throughout, and the woman looks as if she is pulling open a crack in her chest. Inside, we see ferns growing. The statue is “Thrive,” by Daniel Popper.
    All of us are worthy of salvation because all of us are beloved. All of us are just as human as everyone else: just as wounded, hurting, and healing; just as capable of love and transformation and transcendence; just as able to be who we are and who we are called to be.

  • A flower with 17 thin purple petals surrounding a cluster of yellow stamens — a Balkan anemone — rests on a piece of glass that has cracks radiating outwards from the flower.
    It is an act of love for yourself and for each other to come back home to being a regular person: to let go of pretend-perfection and certainty.

  • A preteen child, sitting on a step, hugs their knees and rests the side of their face on their knees, as if expressing sadness. An adult sitting next to them attends to the child, one hand on their knee and another around their back.
