The Pilgrim
A Basic Renewable Power System
by Ambrose Spencer
God is a distributed power source.
Human beings are a distributed power source.
Humans beings and God are connected to each other because we humans are created in God's image.
And humans are connected to each other
and God is love
and God loves life.
The Pilgrim Journal is written by our homeless friends of the Blackseed Writers Group. Sign up for an annual print subscription for $25 by designating your gift to the Monday Lunch Program on our giving page (make sure you specify that your gift is for a Pilgrim Subscription), or send a check to the Cathedral Offices with "Pilgrim Subscription" in the memo line.
