A charge for the sowers
Whatever is next, you have critical work ahead: to make stony ground viable, to tend land constantly so it isn't swallowed by thorns, and to spread the news of love, opportunity, inclusion, and the possibility of joy for everyone, to worry less about where it is spread than that it is spread.

Amar Peterman, author, PhD student in Theology, and DDH resident, preached in the Chapel of the Holy Grail on Monday, April 6. He looked at the story of Jesus' appearance to the disciples after the resurrection. His first book, Becoming Neighbors, was published by Eerdmans on March 12.
In memoriam. Dolores Highbaugh was a lifelong voice for transformation and engagement. DDH is different because she participated in its life and in its students' lives. The church is different because she helped to transform and lead it. She died February 27. A memorial service is planned for Saturday, April 18, at Park Manor Christian Church in Chicago.
