Modernity has robbed us of much–not the least of which is our love and respect for the Church. The medievals understood that the Church should be at the center of our society. It should be where we turn to for spiritual nourishment. It should be thought of as so central to our lives that the thought of living without her is unbearable. We must regain this perspective if we're ever to see a true revival in our land! --- Welcome to The Reformed Dissenters!
