[Magdalen] ENS action -whoopee!

[Ginga Wilder]

Thanks, Cady.  Hope you and yours are well.

The schism, the coming apart was awful; the coming back together was
amazing!  The between time was filled with much learning about being
church, loving our neighbors, healthy community…stuff like that.  Those of
us who experienced all that, well: we are a new creation. The old has
passed away.  That sounds dramatic and it is true! I don’t mean to get
sappy.
