An Overarching Field Of Love

Maybe St. Patrick didn’t drive the snakes out of Ireland, but the meanings of certain words have inspired Rev. Jobe to look at myth and magic and maybe take us to a place outside ourselves to a place of transcendence. Saints be praised!

“A church where skepticism is welcome and adherence to dogma is suspect? A church where all religions are invited but none are beyond introspection?
