Theology That Bites Back
Dear Allen and Carol, I am writing both of you together because I believe we need to tie this up into one bundle. Carol, you have been corresponding with Nancy for a number of weeks now, and Allen, you and I have been doing the same. Nancy and I have spent a good bit of …
The meltdown that is Democratic Party politics continues apace. So what happened this last week—fueled in large measure, as you all have no doubt surmised, by Trump Derangement Syndrome—was something like this.
