Beauty and Wholeness

I mentioned in my previous post that I had been accepted into a writer’s group organized by Missio Alliance. The group had its closing retreat last fall, and I have a lot to share that I’m looking forward to doing in a future post. For now, here’s my second contribution for them, where I, along with two other writers, reflect on the theme of “Wholeness and Beauty in the Life of the Church”: https://www.missioalliance.org/reflections-on-wholeness-and-beauty-in-the-life-of-the-church-pt-2/.

One quick note: the two other writers I’m featured with here are so talented, and come from really interesting backgrounds. Mandi Hecht is a Baptist minister serving in Saskatoon, Canada and holds a Doctor of Ministry in New Testament Context from Northern Seminary. You can find out more about her and her writing here: https://pastormandi.com/. Emily Beth Hill is a theologian interested in economics, surveillance, social justice, and how cultural systems affect our worship and practice in the church. She also wrote a book, Marketing and Christian Proclamation in Theological Perspective, that dives into these themes. You can find out more about her here: https://emilybethhill.com/.
