Unconditional Love: Faith Leaders as Agents of Change in the ACEs and Resilience Movement
The Rev.

RE James Sisson post: Hello James, I would like to learn more of what you are doing and maybe help you spread the word about what you are learning. I'm a retired doctor who now has a ministry called Serenity and Health. It is so clear that ACEs contribute to much suffering, and I believe faith communities can be a source of great healing.
