Virtual Grace is an online forum to support whole body wellness, healing wounds and interfaith conversations. This site seeks to encourage, motivate and support individuals and communities who are looking to care for their hearts, minds and spirits.
Much of the faithful content on this site is produced from a Christian perspective. Our hope is to help individuals who have wounds from participation in faith communities. But, our content seeks to support individuals of all or no faith as well.
Virtual Grace was created by the Rev. Dr. Megan Rohrer in 2004 as an online bible study series called Bible Study that Doesn't Suck (2004-2020). The Rev. Drs Amanda Zentz-Alo and Susan Strouse have collaborated on many Virtual Grace projects over the years. Virtual Grace's regular online programming includes: Bible Study that Doesn't Suck, Just Lutheran, Blessings for Those Who Mourn, Travel Faithfully and several other creative collaborative projects.
