AMERICAN FAITH by CHRISTOPHER CHURCHILL The word faith often refers to a belief in something not based on proof. From that perspective, the idea of attempting to photograph it would seem a near impossible undertaking. Yet that's precisely what Christopher Churchill set out to do. Over the last five years, Churchill has traveled across the United States, knocking 2on the doors of strangers and asking how they experience faith, all the while hoping that that his quest would somehow result in something cohesive. The exploration took him far beyond the confines of specific religions, revealing an inherent and universal human need to be connected to something greater. – Patrick James, GOOD Associate Editor |
