On the day we celebrate Harriet Bedell, a deaconess of the Episcopal Church (TEC), we remember a woman whose quiet courage opened space for dignity, healing, and hope. From Alaska to the Florida Everglades, Bedell lived as though every person bore the image of God. The story of her life invites us to consider where we, too, are being called to walk with faith and trust. This reflection, the first in our 2026 series Stories That Open Space: Women Who Walked Ahead, explores Bedell’s legacy, spiritual practices shaped by her witness, and the gentle beginning of a year that asks us to listen, to show up, and to make room for holy possibility.

Dearest Vel, I have been asking you the most straightforward question, yet you still fail to answer me. My question is… Can abiogenesis and biological evolution be investigated and evaluated using the scientific method, and if so, to what extent? If you are unable to answer the question clearly, you resort to attacking me instead. When you do, your statement collapses under its own assumptions.
