Our View: Journey of integration

By The Echo Editorial Board · Friday, April 19, 2024

Humans are natural learners. Acknowledged or not, everyone dabbles in music and math — appreciates daylight and a building that doesn’t collapse.

People think the resurrection’s unbelievable because it is unbelievable!

Gospel according to slang

By Charles Johnson · Thursday, March 14, 2024

“Father, into your dms I slide my spirit.” This is how “The Gospel by Gen Z” renders Christ’s famous last words on the cross as found in Luke 23:46. It uses the colloquial abbreviation for “direct messages” in place of “hands.”
