The "We Are All Storytellers" project began in the midst of isolation and social distancing during the COVID-19 crisis. During times of uncertainty and change, people long to hear stories where we see the goodness in humanity, people helping people, friends lifting up one another during times of despair, and folks sacrificing in the spirit of generosity and compassion. Our church history is full of these stories!
We invited people like you to share a brief 3-4 minute story from church history that reflected the goodness in humanity. The response was inspiring! Over forty individuals submitted a variety of compelling stories and devotions. You can view/hear these stories by clicking on the images below. We hope these stories serve as reminders of the powerful heritage we share in Community of Christ and the continuing call to love one another.
The tradition begun during a time of isolation has grown over the years to include more stories and storytellers. We invite you to add your voice to the "We Are All Storytellers" collection by sharing one of your favorite moments in Community of Christ history.
