Historic East Village church ready to reopen in time for Easter after devastating fire in 2020.
Darla Miles reports on the historic Middle Collegiate Church in Manhattan’s East Village, which is preparing to reopen its doors just in time for Easter Sunday. Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, the church’s senior minister, shares insights into the restoration efforts following the devastating fire in December 2020. The church’s iconic Tiffany stained-glass dome has been meticulously reconstructed, symbolizing resilience and hope for the congregation.
The Just Love Bible by Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis
In a bold and inspiring new storybook Bible for children, Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Rev. Dr. Shannon Daley-Harris join a long line of sacred storytellers and question-askers. For thousands of years, people have told stories, sung songs, asked hard questions, and shared experiences to learn about God and how to live as God’s people. The big message of the Bible is that God loves us and created us to love God and each other, to do justice, and to love kindness. In The Just Love Story Bible, children and families are invited to open their imaginations, take hold of their belovedness, and understand that all people on earth deserve to be loved and to have dignity, equality, and justice.
Fierce Love Can Change The World
I poured my soul into this book. It’s a collection of stories that illustrate how fierce love has shaped my own life: how it transforms relationships, helps us know and celebrate ourselves, and how it can revolutionize our public life together.
