I mentioned this unfortunate circumstance in my post in another thread yesterday. In his recent letter, after patting himself and his congregations on the back, the bishop also wrote,
"We urge people of faith and good will to take solace and comfort in the fact that there is a strong current of inclusion, unity, acceptance and celebration of faith among the faithful in the places we gather – houses of worship, communities. This is the message we as spiritual leaders want to convey to people of faith – especially now in the most holy time of year and in a time where our collective faith has been tested by so much societal malice."
It isn't only societal malice....
