About Wendy

about us image

This blog reflects my personal views of faith, the church, theology and life. It contains insights from my work as the founder and Executive Director of a small faith based non-profit doing community development work in the inner city of Richmond, Virginia. The views expressed here are my own and are not that of Embrace Richmond, our board or staff.
