Service Descriptions

It has been said that there are three levels of story, three levels of truth. That which is true for all the world, that which is true for our culture, and that which is true for us. Today, let us reflect on those stories which we hold most closely, the final pieces...

It is good to be reminded where we come from. Universalism is not some chic claim meant to be inoffensively warm and fuzzy, but rather a radical theological conviction. In this season of storytelling, let us look back into our past and see what it might have to say to...
