A HAYWOOD STREET INTRODUCTION TO: MADELYN & MEAGAN (HSC’S SUMMER SEMINARIAN INTERNS)
Madelyn
The way love exists in various contexts is, and always has been, curious to me. Before June 1, I’d never set foot on Haywood Street’s campus—or even put a toe in North Carolina for that matter—but I had heard heartfelt tales of the wondrous love that exists at this holy place. Coupled with prior experiences in unhoused ministry through which I identified how love exists even especially in moments of overwhelm, these stories of Haywood’s unabashed love, reckless inclusivity, and unconditional care are what brought me here. I’ve been here less than a week but have already observed and experienced a love like no other with this beloved community of individuals. I am so excited to spend a whole summer learning about this curious variety of love.
Meagan
The mission guiding Haywood Street to continuously invite those who are almost always left out and overlooked into loving community has been transformational for me to witness and participate in. I am thankful to return to the Haywood Street community because the experiences I gain participating in ministry at Haywood are more influential to me than anything I can learn in a classroom at seminary. I have learned the potential a shared meal has to turn strangers into friends and the power of a community of people exclaiming the ultimate affirmation of human dignity. Whose child are you? God’s child!
