Portraits of Faith, Hope and Social Transformation
Photographs by Jerry Berndt
Los Angeles is one of the most diverse cities in the world and is a microcosm of our global community. One window into this complex metropolis is the institution of religion as portrayed by Jerry Berndt. Through his lens we see people raising their hands in praise, kneeling in submission to a higher power, and working together to bring about a more just social order.
