The story of Jonah invites us to consider the many ways in which God speaks through “earth-y” elements. This prophet’s journey also invites us to confront our own perceptions of enemy and Other.

A promise that love conquers death and that a better world is not only possible but that God can be found dwelling wherever and whenever we live into that promise.
