REWILDING OUR HEARTS THIS EASTERTIDE
"We need to rewild the scriptures and understand them better. We need to rewild how we do morals, how we do doctrine. Landscaped control needs to give way to herbaceous borders. We need to rewild liturgy. We need to rewild Jesus. We need to rewild ourselves. We need to breathe a little and let the Holy Spirit blow freely."
Wishing you a warm and grace-filled Eastertide
from the Core team here at
Root & Branch.
