Easter 2022 – Harry’s Letter
Dear Friends, Phew! We made it to spring! Snow is melting, sap is running, robins are returning – and Easter is upon us. Some would say that the resurrection of Jesus is a myth which we perpetuate in order to give a religious spin to the cycle of nature in which the ‘death’ of winter … Continue reading Easter 2022 – Harry’s Letter
Lent 2022 – Harry’s Letter
