| The illusion of safety We rely on faith and community and God to shield us from the trauma of living in a world full of danger and violence.

At Emergent Village we love quotes. Deep, practical, ancient, new, edgy or smooth, from Einstein or from your own head - great quotes keep us searching for the fundamental truths that unite us all, and help us learn from each other. Send us your favorites, and we'll select some of the best for the following categories: inspiration, theology, leadership, culture, poetry/song. Submit a contribution toMinEmergent@gmail.com |
