Wisdom's Cry

By C. E. Dorsett

Join the search for the voice of Wisdom through compassion, living God, and the four paths of Creation Spirituality. Through our love of Christ Jesus, we seek to bring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and freedom to the captives, as we proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. God loves us all, no matter our race, creed, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
