Many are convinced that the correct pronunciation is an attempt to replicate and imitate the very sound in inhalation and exhalation. Therefore, the one thing we do at every moment is say the name of God.

It isn’t a practice of beating ourselves up, isn’t about suggesting the grace of God is in question. Sorry is recognizing what it means to be human, which is imperfect and at times confused.

We have work to do. Our faith moves us to accept responsibility for improving living conditions for all of god’s people. The world will not get better of its own accord. Nor will we make it a more human place by leaving the job to someone else. We each play a part. We let our own light shine.

This collection of images is created by photographer Cheryl Diermyer with reflections written by Rev. Winton Boyd.

Exhibit hours and locations are:
May 11 - July 1
