Architects of Fate: Building a New Way – March 27, 2022 – Rev. Kevin Tarsa

“All are architects of fate, working in these walls of time,” wrote Longfellow. The religious tradition we inherited and call home is always a work in progress. Perhaps especially now.

Someone who sews the seat cushions and curtains, or someone who landscapes the entry?
