This week we are celebrating Journey's birthday. Six years ago, a small group of friends took a chance on building a faith community led not by people but by God. They put aside their own egos and needs and did their best to follow the path of love. This week in Refractions, we are looking back at six years of radical inclusion, embracing imperfection and providing safe community. Here are some photos from our first anniversary picnic on a very wet day in July 2005.
