Loneliness.

Chances are you've experienced it before.

"Loneliness is more than just a bad feeling," writes US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy in his recent advisory on the epidemic of loneliness and isolation. "It harms both individual and societal health…The harmful consequences of a society that lacks social connection can be felt in our schools, workplaces, and civic organizations, where performance, productivity, and engagement are diminished."

No matter your personal relationship to loneliness, I'm sure you have experienced these harmful consequences for yourself. The current crisis of loneliness is inherently linked to the crisis of cultural and political polarization, a crisis that is tearing both families and faith communities apart.
