About Violence, Tribalism & The Real Call of God’s People
When grief cuts deeply, words come slowly. There is nothing wrong with this, or with feeling deeply enough to weep. Tears that slowly come can slowly water healing… can grow us into new, redemptive ways of being.

We mark days like this — us who’ve been marked by deep grief, who are heartbroken and weary that we are still being marked by all this violating violence.
I once had dinner with the theologian Miroslav Volf and we found ourselves sharing how we both, as young children, experienced losing siblings to violent deaths, and Volf living through the violent Balkans wars — this is a world of all kinds of evil and violence and cultural warring, and where is there to turn?
