Posted by Kimberly Allen
In today's Word from Grace Street, Wallace+ reflects on the role of the Church to encourage civility:
In the last week or so, did you find yourself wondering, at any point, why it would be left to a comedian to call the nation to civility?...

And, after all, there is long precedent here: the age-old role of court jester as truth teller comes to mind (see Shakespeare).
