About Me

Joseph A.Brown, SJ
Living in a world of words, finding out the power to heal and challenge and confirm myself and others in the words that surround us. "Sankofa: West African cultural term: 'To return to the past and fetch what is needed.'" The past inspires, nourishes, provides connections with the ancestors -- and helps us prepare the way for the future.
