When light passes though a lens, it is bent or "refracted." It is changed. We all see the world through the lens of our own experience. Here, Journeyers share some of those experiences and lenses with you. Refractions is a new feature of the Journey web site that will present stories, images and sounds that show how Journeyers see the world and the Divine.

This project was very dear to our late pastor David Gentiles and is dedicated to his memory.

Here are the archives of all published Refractions contributions:
