Our Holy, Human Family

Everyone in the village was related to everyone, raised to be people of hope, peace, joy, and love.

We are a holy family - birthed, adopted, blended, and broken. Into our harsh conditions and complicated histories, our dreary compromises and false starts, our God enters in and charges us with divinity.

Into the poor, vulnerable, young, scared, and forgotten people; into the rubble, cold, dark, gritty, and greedy places; into the hearts of wanting for rest from war and violence; into every hidden corner of our world and lives: the everyday child is born, an incarnation of the invisible God.

This is our faith. In our weakness, we are born a blessing, hope for the world. God is with us, God is us.
