July 7 - Voices From The Wilderness: Desert Mothers And Fathers | Emily Wright

Whether fleeing persecution or prosecution, thousands of people fled to the deserts of Egypt in the 3th through 5th centuries to seek something bigger, maybe smaller, maybe safer, or maybe riskier. People heard of the “word from God” that the monks were sharing with those who came, and so they went, desperate for guidance, respite, and wisdom. It was the ancient desert mothers and fathers they went to hear from. In Emily Wright's sermon we hear from them as well.
