Story is a fundamental and universal aspect of being human. From earliest times, the world encountered through human senses has been made understandable by construction and sharing of stories. In turn, the stories repeated and adopted shape how the world is experienced and understood, for both good and bad. In this service Susan Kaphammer will prompt us to take a look at this power of stories to frame our personal lives, our communities and our world. When we recognize the stories, we have the chance to enrich or change them.
