By Frances Kissling

…er the “gotcha” is believed. The past couple of years have produced a fair number of examples of a similar mindset on my side: we’re right, they’re wrong and the end justifies the means.

By Kathryn Joyce

…at. My husband often points out that in the scripture it talks about Jesus numbering himself among the transgressors, and he says that’s what I did. Can you talk about what your period of exile was like? That was a very dark time in our lives, and I really felt that the separation from the church was as big a blow to me as the difficulties in our marriage.
