Today, Rev. David Avery, a retired Disciples of Christ minister, visited our Fellowship to give us a talk about Light and Darkness. So often, our language equates light with goodness and darkness with evil and fear (and what does that do to the way we view dark-skinned people?), but Avery encouraged us to embrace the gifts of darkness. Visually, photographers and artists know that the light in an image would have no shape or meaning without darkness to contrast it and give it form. Spiritually and personally, a "dark night of the soul" may be lonely and frightening, but it is through such journeys into the unknown that we grow as people.
