“We live in strange times, and yet we are people of strangely warm hearts, strangely hopeful spirits who know that with God, strange things are happening every day – peaceful things, justice things, creative things, healing things, hopeful things, love things. In the words of John Wesley, ‘the best of all is, God is with us.’”
— Bishop David Alan Bard
