 True? 

A man gradually formulates his religion, be it what it may.  A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.

  • Reminder for the 6th Sunday of Easter, May 22, 2022

    Acts of the Apostles 15: It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities,  namely, to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meats  of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage.

    Revelation 21:  The city had no need of sun or moon to shine on it, tor the glory of God gave it light, and its lamp was the Lamb.

    John 13:  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
