In this issue we asked six Christian writers: What does your body tell you about God? Not bodies in the abstract, but your body: pimples, dreadlocks, muscles, wrinkles, thighs, and all. We also worked with Minneapolis-based photographer Katie Koranda, who introduced us to Saciido Shaie, a Somali Muslim refugee. Shaie's story is also about bodies--those of people who were forced to flee the country where they were born, who often wear hijabs of their brown or black skin, and in whom our nation seems to be having particular trouble seeing the image of God.
