The latest news and stories from Presbyterian Outlook

News & Stories We need no reminder this Lenten season of the ways the world is splintered with sin. We are living in the wilderness of war, disease, hate, fear, and loneliness. The only way forward is to, as Teri Ott writes in her Lenten devotional, make a new road. We can do so alongside our companion God, knowing that faith is never a destination but a journey.
