the Empathy List

By Liz Charlotte Grant

A kind + smart word from the Christian Left. Curious reads, empathy for all. 22', 23' Webby Award Nom., 23' Hon. Mention Blog (Best of the Church Press Awards). Read my debut book, Knock at the Sky: Seeking God in Genesis After Losing Faith in the Bible.

Liz is one of the kindest writers I know. Her words are beautiful, and I trust you'll find the space she has cultivated here to be generous and wise.
