Compiling data, weighing facts, and sorting out feelings through reason and logic will not transform people’s hearts or bring renewal.

Hope gives access to tensions and contradictions that disrupt our cleanly managed logic. Hope not only remembers but wonders and imagines and even proposes a new way forward.
