Little did I know that by age 60, my eyes would have been opened to a world of new ideas, new theologies, different types of faith, and a new love for art and poetry.
Back in the late 1970s when I was barely a teen, I tagged along with my parents as they attended a Sunday school convention in Detroit, Mich. There, I heard…
“Until someone has a good understanding of what we are for, it’s not helpful to fixate on what we are seen to be against,” says Brian Cooper.
