Reading through Sarah Westfall’s book, The Way of Belonging, felt like making an instant friend! It felt like making a friend who also struggles with new friendships, what it means to belong, and who is also a huge fan of Henri Nouwan (more on that in the episode!). Sarah is asking questions I think many of us church folk are asking these days, and if we’re not asking them already, she’s helping give language to what many of us feel communally. Sarah is curious about what it looks like to feel more comfortable as ourselves while at the same time, acknowledging the longing many of us have to belong to each other.
