“BWB has enabled me to discover and be nourished by community doing this work; to free Jesus from the eclesiastical captivity; to find in meeting this liberated Jesus more of who I am; and at times, being willing to pick up my cross as he did his in a gamble of dying into a new life.”
-- Episcopal Priest
