I am just beginning: Slow Theology by A. J. Swoboda and Nijay Gupta 📚
Oh boy, this book is going to be so good and so very challenging. I am excited!
The kingdom of God is not in the wisdom of the world, nor in eloquence, but in the faith of the cross and in the virtue of dialogue. — St. Cyprian

A little afternoon snack!
From Comments to Coffee: Disagreeing Well in a Digital Age
