Bridge Builders (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday After Epiphany)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021

| 1,817 views

What is a priest? One way to think about what a priest does is to compare them to being a bridge builder. Why that analogy? A bridge connects pieces of land that are geographically separated, much like a priest helps people connect with God.
