Specifically for the purpose of this post, I am referring to the New Wine Ministry within the Church of England (Anglican-Episcopalian church). New Wine …

Life has many ironic moments. Last Friday evening presented one for me. Just that day I had finished reading: Don’t Try This at Home edited by Kimberly Witherspoon and Andrew Friedman.
