We’ve all heard stories where small, seemingly insignificant elements, redressed the balance and changed everything. Like the case study about an inexpensive survey in Uganda that explained the cultural reasons AIDS was spreading so fast. Because of that simple survey, Uganda was able to turn the tide on AIDS infection through a targeted media campaign. Or more recently, how Theaster Gates, a Potter, is leveraging the power of creativity, cultural capital and art to revive a once dying community in Chicago.
Shining God’s light and truth in dark spaces often starts with small steps and a commitment to keep things moving forward. Something all of us can learn how to do.
