One parish finds renewed — and surprising — life when it adds a columbarium to its grounds.

Some sacred art makes us sad, some uplift our spirits, but both work in harmony to inform us of the complexity of life. 

The Way of the Three Steps prayer practice can alleviate anxiety and help us refocus on the act of giving ourselves fully to God, writes Sue Stanton.

Soul Seeing: Knitting has taught me about peace, the kind of peace that is intangible, but more real than a 20-foot-high concrete wall in Palestine, covered in the graffiti of despair and rage.

Soul Seeing: This precious commodity of community water has been set aside just for this purpose — for healing and rejuvenation, to be shared by everyone in this brief time in space.
