Guest Column: Memphis and all of us need ‘an economy of grace’
Joshua Henry Narcisse
The Rev. Joshua Henry Narcisse is director of spiritual care at Church Health and serves as parish associate at Idlewild Presbyterian Church. He is co-host of “The Mystic”, a monthly discussion forum hosted at Crosstown Concourse, and he lives in Downtown Memphis.
“I wonder, if we resist the urge to focus on the transactions and lean into grace, might we smooth our path forward into becoming a city where everyone is seen, heard, and cherished as a gift.”
