Epiphany for The Beatitudes Society
In some cultures, January 6 is Epiphany. As with personal epiphanies, the holiday is a little more complicated. The holiday can last several days or it can start on different dates. Epiphanies rarely start when expected, even when placed on the calendar.
Last Fall, I photographed Rev. Anne Howard and The Beatitudes Society’s leadership team while they were “rebirthing” the organization. The team visited from many different parts of the country to guide the organization into its next period of growth.
When the organization has been redesigned, the changes will appear seamless. New members will experience epiphanies, but if we are not careful, the emerging leaders will miss an essential part of the epiphany process. Epiphanies are not simply revealed. They are often created with intentional, dedicated focus.
