False Gods of Progressives
Dear Editor: Ever notice that the more our Church practice becomes increasingly obsessed with denying even the possibility of personal sinfulness among ourselves and people we prefer to identify as being like ourselves, which we call being non-judgmental, we become more willing to judge and accuse others we prefer to assume are dissimilar to ourselves?

Give Trump a Chance
Presumption is a terrible thing. Many of us assume the worst in all situations.
