Your Neighbor, A Priest

Your Neighbor, A Priest

By Nic

Join me, your neighbor, a priest, as I tackle current events (both in the world and in the world of the church), discussing how they relate to our neighborhood of Longview/Kelso and Southwest Washington. Together with featured guests, I will seek to shed new light into the issues our community faces, the impacts they have on us, and expand upon how the church (with your help!) can act to better our community, and through that work, the world.
