Telling a story is connecting with others. Telling your spiritual story means sharing a part of your identity. The Spiritual Lives at Lawrence video series allows members of the Lawrence community an opportunity to let their story be known, and to let others into this special part of their identity.
No two stories are alike. You are invited to explore the video series for yourself and consider how your shared story would look. https://www.lawrence.edu/info/offices/spiritual-and-religious-life/spiritual-lives
