I have not cried so much as an adult as i have since Nov. 2024. May we always remember the truth that ““There is no ‘them’ and ‘us.’ There is only us.””

Resurrection Downtown is the epitome of “Sacred Sidewalks.” Your writing captured its essence poignantly. This piece could be on a banner or poster in the narthex of the church. 🙏🏼

This made me admittedly teary eyed and I am so grateful to be moved from reading it. We all have such tremendous potential to view one another in new ways when we open ourselves to the power of seeing people as we hope to be seen. As we hope to be noticed and acknowledged as equals in His world. Poignant message. Thank you.

"They don't see a stereotype. They see a neighbor." Something for all of us in that one. Great reflections and prayers for the amazing you are building.

I’d say Saint Paul actually said something rather similar in Galatians. Here’s my take: https://joeburnham.com/there-can-be-only-one-galatians-3/
