Who I am: I am a person who cares about health, justice, and flourishing.

How I should act: I seek out opportunities to learn about my health and its relationship to community health, and the role of spirituality, the Bible, and Christian prayer. I try to avoid pathologizing language or stereotypes.

What I believe: I believe every single person is equal, that wealth should be shared, that life and relationships are fragile, and people deserve grace along with accountability.

“If people find health and yet don’t see the need for healing that the whole world experiences, this is certainly not comprehensive healing. For more information on comprehensive healing justice read my latest book Christians for a Free Palestine: A Guide to Ethical Living.”

By Beatrice Mutual aid is what happens when people refuse to give up on each other. It’s not charity, and it’s not a handout. It’s community care in motion — the belief that if we all bring what we have, everyone gets what they need. Every week, we show up with food, water, tents, wound…

The Everyday Miracles of Palestine: Courage, Hope, and Resilience

By Usama Nicola, Bethlehem, Palestine Sometimes I think we confuse miracles with magic. Magic dazzles and disappears. It demands nothing of us but wonder.
