This photo chronicle is a kind of visual journal of observations and occasions at and around the Georgia Avenue Church building (in process of becoming the The Anchor!) over the past 4 years. Amidst the cleaning, uncovering, advocacy, and admin I have come across a number of old photos and archival gems from early days of Georgia Avenue Church and the Ga. Ave Community Ministry food co-operative activities. You’ll see the faces of Constance, Keith, Fay, Lucille, Jackie, Ella, Chad, Barbara, and many other beloved elders, ancestors, and tenders of this community, as well as the cracks, nooks, crannies, leaks, shadows, and light-play as the flow of time, story, and Spirit continue to move through this historic structure.
Also seen here are: kitchen cleaning parties with friends, quiet prayer vigils, a surprise elopement, reunion brunches, activities of Kudzu Nation and other dance gatherings, my little nephew “helper” Taki, musician Micah Dalton recording a suite of modern spirituals, a youth cello intensive, artist Tricia Hersey and some of the Nap Ministry gatherings we have held in the space, some choice baby shots of me on the church grounds, various floral offerings and altars I have made and the horizon line in Grant Park as the seasons change….
(You can look at them in a cluster in thumb-nail form or click on a photo to see the entire image and move through individually like a slide show.)
