People are free to explore what is means to endure brokenness in their quest to embrace authentic liberation.Service: Standing with & affirming the fundamental insistence of the dignity of the human person, a dignity based on the belief that human beings, male & female, all races, all sexual identities, all economic conditions, all national origins, all forms of ableness, are made in the image of God.
