Consp!re
"CONSP!RE is a magazine committed to building relationships and nurturing those trying to follow the way of Jesus . It is supported by a network of communities, groups, and individuals. Each issue explores the questions of faith that arise from living for justice and as part of the body.
Consp!re means breathing together. We believe the reign of God is about relationship and living with imagination. Consp!re also means plotting together—and we are plotting goodness. We yearn to do small things with great love, interrupting injustice with grace, and transforming ugliness to beauty."
