From Alabama-
As a student at the General Theological Seminary preparing for ordination in the Episcopal Church, I often made several visits a day to the Chapel of the Good Shepherd as the community took a break from class and gathered for worship.
The chapel is a neo-gothic structure built in the late 19th Century. Day after day of entering the chapel for services, the architecture, the stained glass, and other features of the chapel began to sink into my soul and shaped my understanding of God.
On the floor of the chapel were a series of tile mosaics of the words of the seven virtues, written in Latin.
Many of us are familiar with the so-called seven deadly sins but are less familiar with their positive opposites, the seven virtues.
Among this list appearing on the floor of the chapel is humilitas, or humility.
