And in the modern world, due primarily to materialism and utilitarianism, beauty has been mostly lost in our buildings. And with […]

If you have ever seen the film Babette’s Feast, you know the power of exceptional food and wine to foster the healing of broken relationships. For those unfamiliar with the film, the narrative culminates in an extravagant meal that mediates grace to an unsuspecting group of people. As they dine on each successive course, these […]

“It Is Good”: A 5280 Fellows Experience

I’m currently going through the nine-month 5280 Fellowship, studying the intersection of work and faith. I think a lot of people, including myself, struggle with the question of what intrinsic value our work brings to the world.
