Chicago - Betsy and her teacher - students
In Chicago on a Sunday morning during the school year. Betsy Peterson can be found teaching 9-12 year old children what she knows of Gd. In this faith a traditional ritual of communion is celebrated weekly as a promise - to love, to be with, to give grace.
What does love look like - a promise fulfilled, a gift of hope, the impossible, the sheerness of joy overflowing. All of these bespeak Gd.
And as is true for most good relationships, they teach her as well.
"The most crazy making child did a big cross and at the center wrote the word hope. I could have wept for joy. He also did a candle - the Paschal candle I think, but wrote the word love."
God is Love - let heaven adore ...
