Posted on June 12, 2017 by ehurst

We Want More

Posted on June 7, 2017 by ehurst

Let me attempt to draw a picture here. I very much want a community, a fellowship based on shared beliefs. Not conformity and uniformity, because a primary doctrine at work here is the necessity of seeking to share what can … Continue reading →
