Resources for Those in Need
When the world is as divided, scared and hurting as ours is today, we know that the deep, reconciling love of Christ is a balm for wounded souls. It is the gift of the church to share this love through loving our neighbor, learning our neighbor’s story, and caring for each other.
-The Rt. Rev. Anne B. Jolly
