Dear Friends of Portraits In Faith, I wanted to share an article about Portraits In Faith just published in ORIGAMI, an Asian-Canadian online news journal. The article is entitled “A Return To Faith” and you can read it here. It’s a wonderful view of Portraits in Faith’s mission and how I came to start this project.
