Its really a brilliant piece of political and, religious journalism. And i also read it as a kind of heartfelt plea for the evangelical to, you know, quoting from revelation to write to return to their first love. So i think that was the church of ephesus. Its not i know its not easy saying things about the tribe, the community, religious community in which you sort of came of age. And i know that takes courage. So thanks. Well professor. Youre very kind for saying that thank you because i that youve lived through this thing and you know firsthand how difficult it is to be the squeaky wheel and to step out of line with your own tribe and. Ill be honest, you know, i dont feel particular really brave or, courageous in doing this. I wish, frankly, that i would have had the courage to do it a long time ago. This problem

Gina Yeager-Buckley
From the start, Yeager-Buckleyâs PYWA cohort â one of 20 cohorts offered this fall by members of the Christian Formation Partner Association Collective â clicked and became important to cohort members.
She said members in the cohort really talked and listened to each other, using one of the principles of holy listening: no interruption. It worked so well that the cohort is planning on getting together for an informal gathering in 2021.
