Redemption Songs: Lent and Liberation

Chelle A. Carter-Wilson

Envisioning a world where each of us embraces the Perfect, Precise Image of God that we are at every given moment, even as each of us exists in a liminal state, and having made peace with uneasiness and most of her fears, Chelle Wilson is an unflinching advocate for social justice. Her ambiversion allows her to be in the world, but not quite of it. Writing grants her time and space to understand how she feels about the world. Her capacity for swearing, when necessary to get the reader’s attention, is indicative of her commitment to the precise word for each situation.
