New Director’s Blog

Directors Blog - Basil the hippo 2

Check out this month’s blog from Executive Director, Sergio Bersaglio “Lessons from Basil the Hippo”:

Children are all too often given the wrong impression of God. They are taught to fear Him, as someone who is out to punish them for every wrongdoing.
