One of the most bandied about charges against modern day patriarchs is that they care nothing for evangelism. I’ve always been a bit fascinated by this accusation. It’s a bit like accusing the mechanic at a tire store of telling folks they don’t need water in their radiators. After all they only change tires; its [...]
