Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
It’s easy to forget just how unique Christianity is. That may be because the world we live in has been so influenced by faith in Christ, so structured and shaped by all things Christian over the past two millennia, that we’re almost always looking at the Jesus narrative from inside it. And that remains true (for now), despite the marked decline in religious belief and practice over the past century that has many calling our era “post-Christian.”
As we flip the calendar to 2024, I must admit the thought of the coming 12 months fill me with a certain amount of dread. Entering into another election year, with all of the related political drama, can feel anxiety-inducing, to say the least.
