  • With a blue sky behind him, a Black man opens his arms wide and lifts his face up, with eyes closed, as if basking in joy.
    Gratitude is the opposite of addiction. Opposite gratitude is shame, denial, and spiritual paralysis

  • A close up of a person's hands, with dirt under their nails. One open palm cradles a pile of seeds; the other hand is pinching a few of those seeds.
    To live well is to be in relationship with the earth’s constant change.

  • 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 book of prayers, rituals, and liturgies that grows out of communities committed to abolishing poverty. Prayer has long sustained movements for social change. Ritual gives shape to our desire for justice, and liturgy lends power to our work.

  • 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 freedom to seek, discover, and accept others’ truths is a sweet path to follow.

  • 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 black-and-white photo of two women with long hair, silhouetted by the window behind them. They're sitting on chairs facing one another, bent over and holding hands, with heads bowed in prayer.
    I trust your love to heal my wounds. I trust your love is flowing through me, and from me to those around me.

  • 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.
    We're only as safe as the people we’re willing to protect.

  • A young person, seen only from their neck to their chest, has their palm flat against their heart. In the blurred background, an adult sitting up on a couch appears to be doing the same thing.

  • The back end of the underside of a surfboard. The visible edge of the board is yellow, and the surface of the underside is green with a decorative pattern in black. The surfboard is resting on a wooden deck made out of many thin light brown wooden planks.

  • Against a deep black background, swirls of smoke are illuminated by red and purple lighting, creating an abstract pattern.
    This ritual of our faith reminds our subtle-and-crashing-about beings that we are part of a collective— a community of care and connection, courage and questions, scared and sacred together.

  • A painting of a small fountain in a pond. On the surface of the water, ripples radiate outward from the fountain. Beneath the ripples are bright colors forming indistinct shapes. Several small golden squares among the colors give a hint of regularity.
    How do I leave behind the pain, the disappointment, the anger, at what has been? The unconscious cruelty, the negating, the selfish harm I have walked through, knowing the possibility always exists that it could happen again…

  • A crack in beige pavement. The photo is tall and thin, and the dark crack stretches in a somewhat jagged line from the bottom left of the photo to the upper right.
    Everything about our existence points towards change, flexibility, and dynamic re-creation. And it’s hard because change involves loss.
