Source of Presiding Bishop’s statement:
Being a Christian isn’t just about being a “good person.” The early Christians banded together to be the opposite of empire.
To repent is to turn the wheel a different way ... to accept the detour that’s offered.
Have you heard the good news?
Three speakers address those who have been hurt by the church.
This death isn’t a stoppage. It’s a startage!
An ancient Easter sermon that feels fresh and shocking every year.
Did Jesus have to die?
When Jesus washes his disciples' feet, he's redefining power.
Jesus allows all sorts of off-ramps from a life of faith.
Faith does not spare us from grief. It gives us language for it.
