The Reconciliation of Faith: A Blind Deceiver Sees the Light
Long ago, during the reign of the Caesars, there lived a disgruntled man of privilege, a Jew with Roman citizenship. His name was Saul. He was a Pharisee.

“Our shared values define us more than our differences. And acknowledging those shared values can see us through our challenges today, if we have the wisdom to trust them again.” John Mccain
