Restoring Peace

by | Apr 11, 2013 | Creation

I almost passed this article by, as I do with many articles that come to my computer screen, but the title intrigued me. There is so much truth in the article, through to the last quote which sums it all up for me. I thought this fits so well with what Coracle is,...

Stripping of the Altar on Maundy Thursday
