Nearness
Our Beloved Community
Friendship is where we learn to bend toward each other’s wounds with gentleness, where we create a space for reconciliation—not as a performance but as a holy rhythm of grace. And in this, friendship becomes a practice of communion. It is where we taste the nearness of God in the nearness of another. [1]
