To the editor:
Since February 2025, I have managed the Gazette’s Voices of Spirit column. It is an education and a pleasure to work with you and the Gazette staff, and even more so with the writers and spiritual leaders in our community. These writers offer thoughtful and meaningful perspectives on current concerns that seem to shatter our sensibilities about what is humane, fair, and kind.
Voices of Spirit writers use stories, sermons, and reflections to promote resilience and peaceful resistance. They may be associated with a community of faith or aligned with a personal spiritual path. Themes that strike me as common among all the writers are those that convey shared struggles, empathy, and human kindness.
I appeal to every spiritual leader in our greater community to share their thoughts and perspectives on finding peace and connection in our lives. Diverse perspectives are welcome. Reasonably short (600 words or so) submissions can be sent directly to me at [email protected].
With your continued support, I hope to hear more Voices of Spirit and keep the column going strong.
Write to [email protected] if you’d like to add your voice to the community.
