(Mis)perceptions

December 18, 2021 | By Serena Puang, DC ‘22+1

The seat you choose on the first day in journalism class has a major impact on how the next month in the class is going to go. The first assignment is always to write a 2000-word profile of the person who sits beside you during the first class, and you have to talk to at least 15 people in their life to understand what makes them tick.

“God Loves You”

December 18, 2021 | By Hannah Turner, BK ‘24

“That’s funny,” my high school friend said when she heard the common Christian phrase thrown out in a conversation about racism. She had concluded the very opposite: God didn’t love her, if there even was a god.

A Meditation on Sacred Spaces

November 26, 2021 | By Bella Gamboa JE ‘22

Limestone columns rise to an intricately engraved ceiling far above, whose artistry is somewhat shadowed as it lies above the lights that line the sanctuary. The nave is imposing yet familiar; its grandeur feels like home. The stained-glass windows are particularly exquisite: the cool blues and purples that enclose a stone brought from the moon, the panoply of shades in the rose windows, the vivid panes painstakingly joined by lead seams. The light filtering through the glass creates puddles of color, rivulets of crimson and gold, eddies of amber and sapphire. And these are but the wonders of the main sanctuary; both outside and deeper within, crevices and cornices, chapels and gargoyles, add to the intricacies and spectacle of the church.

How to Have Good Conversations (Around the Thanksgiving Table or Otherwise)

November 26, 2021 | By Raquel Sequeira TD ‘21.5

As I reach the end of my time at Yale, I’ve been reflecting on the highlights. I’ve realized that many of the best moments of the past five years have just been…talking to people. Brilliant people, it should be said. The kinds of conversations where you start with British Literature and wind your way to quantum computing, or from the philosophy of infinity to the meaning of joy. God is usually in there. You find yourself gesturing to invisible diagrams on the wall behind you. You forget your complaints and anxieties about school in this momentary oasis of dialogue.

Witness in the Atomic Age: In Memory of Sister Megan Rice

November 19, 2021 | By Stephen McNulty MY ‘25

In 2013, an eighty-three-year-old nun stood before a court facing an odd charge — the year prior, she had broken into a Tennessee nuclear site, in what was perhaps the largest security breach in US atomic history. She and her collaborators were part of the Plowshares movement, a pacifist Christian movement infamous for direct action against US nuclear facilities. Their goal, as it were, was to beat the swords of the military-industrial complex into plowshares, as alluded to in the Book of Isaiah:

A Psalm A Day

November 7, 2021 | By Shi Wen Yeo MC ‘23

One of my favourite parts about Sunday mornings is walking into church and smelling the musty pews gently speckled with the mid-morning sun, and seeing the rows upon rows of pews, pews that are  usually littered with hymnals and psalters. I have been doing some reflection on this recently. What does it mean that hymnals or psalters are usually distributed as separate books as opposed to the rest of the Bible?
