If you have not yet utilized the work of our friend and colleague, Tim Wright, we hope you will. Tim and his staff, and Michael Gurian and our GI staff, have partnered for the last ten years in three primary ways, all of which were inspired by Tim’s request of Michael that what the Gurian Institute was doing in the secular world might be added, also, to faith-communities. Together we …
