In this issue, Diego Bascur writes about how we can humbly recognize the good and beautiful in Indigenous cultures and move toward a place of healing and unity. Taeryn Novak writes about “slowing to the speed of love”—how resisting the frenetic pace of life has given her more opportunities to respond faithfully now. In “Letting go so new things can grow” Sarah Robinson writes about setting aside an aspect of ministry to make room for another kind to flourish.
In our cover story, Adam Kline describes how the early Church marked Easter with feasting and celebration and why we should make this part of the Christian story the most notable and joyous part of our calendar year.
