January/February 2025
Connected and Connectional

It’s not difficult to find evidence that we’re living in divisive times. Whether we’re considering the national news or our social media feed, how to interpret a particular scripture passage or what to support with a limited budget, it often feels like there’s very little we all agree on.

While those tensions and disagreements are true and valid, they’re not the only truth. It also happens to be true that we have allies, friends, colleagues, loved ones with whom we share beliefs and dreams, celebrate traditions. Psychologists have noted that people tend to pay more attention to negative events or feelings than positive ones. They call this pattern negativity bias and believe that the ability to focus on negative experiences was key to survival in the early days of human history.

So consider this issue a commitment to building a positivity bias. You’ll find writers and artists celebrating the connections that shape our lives, our communities, our organization of Presbyterian Women and our witness as agents of God’s love in the world. You’ll find examples of connections that are foundational (like the very intentional structure of PW or PC(USA)’s mission partnerships) or fortuitous (like finding just the right mentor). Of course, alliteration aside, as people of faith we understand these connections to be the Holy Spirit at work, “God winks,” if you will.
