FROM OUR JOURNAL PAGES:Black and white, left, right, good, evil, conservative, liberal, I have it right, you have it wrong, faith divided by ideologies, systems of power and privilege and dynamics of domination and hostility by which we seek to judge and control others…
How can we move toward one another? How can we begin to see God in the colors that reside in both the black and the white? What could happen? Would life be richer in celebrating our differences with understanding? Could we have a sudden outbreak of hope? Can changing our lens transform us to new truth? Can our imaginations and creativity lead us to the grace margins and a compassionate faith-filled way forward? Could it help lead us back to our humanity for the love of Christ?

For those who dare the possibility to become transparent and to interact with each other we think that we not only connect with a new creation, but also find out who we are in it, and our relationship to others.
Our new series of work titled The New Jerusalem will be up through November at
St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, Mahtomedi, MN
