Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male.

There are practical and compassionate alternatives to assisted suicide, and as many who have gone before us have found, the end of our lives on this earth may turn out to be a strange and wonderful opportunity for growth and internal healing.
