“A statement released Saturday night by Kirk of the Hills says: “We are humbled by the jury’s recent decision. Our hearts go out to the family and to the child. For over 40 years we’ve provided a loving, caring, Christ-centered environment for children. This has been our number one priority. In the coming weeks our... Continue Reading

“Jews and all Christians and people of faith who truly care about peace should make it clear that so long as the Presbyterian Church USA is waging war on the Jews, they will treat it as a hate group masquerading as a community of faith.”   As a Presbyterian, albeit a member of the Presbyterian Church...
