The Fall installment of Living a Beautiful Life is written by All Souls member Brittany Decker.

Stories are the creative conversion of life itself into a more powerful, clearer, more meaningful experience. They are the currency of human contact. - Robert McKee 

Funmi and her family

As All Souls seeks to be a worshiping community in downtown Knoxville, we commit to support the well being of the city through our prayer, our work, our study, our play and our daily lives. As we live in community, we find that each of us has a story that gives some context to the gifts and passions we bring to each other and to the city. We find that telling these stories unearth the powerful and creative ways that God reveals His own nature through our lives.

All Souls is doing a quarterly series called "Living a Beautiful Life" that reflects on the experiences of faith, community and vision through the stories of members of our body from a diverse set of backgrounds. In telling these stories and understanding the spiritual paths that we have traveled, we hope to move closer to God, to each other, and to the city.

Our second story is on compassionate, swing dancing, doctoral psychology student Funmi Obiri.
