The Architecture of Redemption
The history of our faith is built on reclaimed territory.
Our primary symbol was a torture device; our very name started as an insult.
This reflects the consistent nature of the divine, quietly working through the immense difficulties of the ancient world and the complexities of human history to forge something beautiful.
God takes the broken, the rejected, and the meant-for-harm, and repurposes them for a higher calling.
The very things meant to destroy the movement became the anchors of its endurance.
