Last updated on: July 20, 2016 at 5:07 pm By Guest Contributor

Patheos 10+1: A Q&A with ‘Bipolar Faith’ Author Monica Coleman

Last updated on: July 19, 2016 at 5:56 pm By Deborah Arca

“Hate Cannot Drive Out Hate”

Last updated on: July 18, 2016 at 6:23 pm By Dwight Lee Wolter

My conviction ~ based on an experience of blood, death, hate and hope ~ is that, in immediate and intentional attempts at healing ~ it is possible for a community to go where fear and hate have no dominion over love and peace. Read more
