@UmActuallyShow Um actually, you said the headless horseman is from New York but the myth extends as far back as the Medieval period in Irish folklore and is known as the Dullahan (shared on behalf of my sister).

As our faith moves into the 2nd year of implementing prophetic recommendations of the Commission on Institutional Change, I am grateful for those who are asking about the sources of our commitments to anti-racism. I am grateful because the sources of this work run so deep!

The book of Revelation is the NT's strange post-credit scene with deep-cut insider references and ambiguously hints at new story lines that future creative teams may or may not deal with.
