Posted by: | CommentsOur second newsgram was sent on 30 December to all members and friends who have provided us with current emails. If you did not receive the newsgram, please check to see if your computer blocks emails sent via Constant Contact. Or please send a confirmation of your preferred email to chaplains@mca-usa.org.
As you pray for all of those wounded in war, please remember those who suffer moral injuries – which can be as profound in consequence as physical and mental injuries.
