This Week’s Wisdom Wednesday Collection
Wisdom Wednesday | November 23rd
Happy Thanksgiving from Wisdom Wednesday! We begin with LGBTQ issues, then move on to topics including the GOP-controlled House, the Synod, German bishops and schism, the Supreme Court, the pope’s Christmas tree and Little Richard’s Bible.
We pray, as Saint Paul prayed for the Ephesians, that you may receive “a spirit of wisdom and revelation.” Visit with us each Wednesday as we seek the wisdom of many witnesses to the whirl of faith, culture and politics. May God be with us!
