The current issue of The Episcopal New Yorker features two articles by Ascensionites: a book review from Mother Liz and and a reflection on the issue’s fascinating topic (death) by Stanley Weinberg. In the recent 2018 fall edition you’ll find a poignant article by Fr. Ed on how the abuse of a subway panhandler by a fellow passenger raised painful memories and spurred a not only a reaction but an action. You can download that article with this link Judge Not.
