Now, as most of us Christians have entered into the Lenten season, that phrase becomes rather a description of our self-reflection, and yet also Read More

Next Sunday, March 16, I will be in Germany for the 80th anniversary of the fire-bombing of Würzburg. Ninety percent of the city was destroyed in 20 minutes, and I had family members among the 5,000 people who perished in that bombing.
