Book Excerpt
Writing in Community
A basic tenet of the Christian faith is that we are created in God’s image. No matter what your religion, or whether or not you ascribe to a particular religion, we are the products of creation; and we, after the example of whoever or whatever created us, have the power ourselves to create. We give birth to babies, we create homes, beautiful gardens, meals for our families—and we can create sculptures, novels, and books of poetry. We sell ourselves short if we do not acknowledge our creativity; and we put limitations on the power of the Divineto act throughus. Who are we to do that? “Whatever God’s dream about man may be,” Stella Terrill Mann said, “it seems certain that it cannot come true unless man cooperates.”
