It was a time of starvation indeed - of the colony’s 500 residents, only 60 lived till spring.

Fast cars. Fast and furious. Fast forward. Fast...church? The church is often idealized (or demonized) as the last bastion of a bygone era, dragging our feet as we're pulled into new moralities and new spiritualities.
