At The Well This Week

• As we lament racial violence in our country, this podcast episode with Christina Edmondson, the co-author of Faithful Anti-Racism: Moving Past Talk to Systemic Change, offers needed wisdom. Join us as we discuss the work of fighting racism in academic contexts and the tools required for this important task.

You're Invited!

• Even where there are deepening divisions, love is possible.  Even when there is suffering, joy is possible. Even in the midst of brokenness, rebuilding is possible. A simple, singing monk from the 13th century just might be able to teach us what is still possible — for us, today. Want to venture to Assisi, Italy and follow in the steps of Francis wherever you find yourself this summer? Via Divina: The Franciscan Way.
