Weavings: A Journal of the Christian Spiritual Life

http://weavings.upperroom.org/write-for-weavings

Articles 1000 to 2000 words, sermons and meditations 500 to 2000 words, stories (fiction or nonfiction) 750 to 2000 words, poems, prayers and liturgical pieces. Weavings is neither a popular devotional guide nor a technical scholarly journal. We are looking for material that has spiritual depth expressed in simple, even poetic, prose. We hope authors will show our readers the subject rather than simply describe or explain it.

As our world becomes even smaller and flatter, the changes and challenges of diversity come ever closer to each one of us. From diversity of faiths to diversity of cultures to diversity within our own streams of faith, the challenges of diversity present themselves with increasing frequency. How do we negotiate the challenge of differing faiths, cultures, and worldviews in ever-changing local and global environments? What spiritual practices help us cultivate a spirit of Namaste with those whom we may not understand or agree with? Scripture advises us that “to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good” (1 Cor. 12:7); how might we apply this thought to a larger context?
