"exercising my brain"
Interesting thought from our Anglican Primate Fred Hiltz on books, & burnings & September 11:
That day, it seems to me, should be marked by gatherings for prayer, and expressions of mutual respect for our various faith traditions and the texts we all regard as sacred.
Here are a few [...]
