A longer table
This hymn we sing at our church so perfectly captures the Progressive Christianity we are striving for. It also speaks to our current political climate. I’m reminded of reading Philip Yancey so many years ago, What’s So Amazing About Grace. He described grace as scandalous. In a nation that is on the precipice of building…
