"A Song of Zion"
Reverend Scott McNeill
While exiled, ancient Jews spoke of wanting to hear one of the songs from the good ol' days, when they were back home - not in a foreign land. Rev. Scott will continue with our theme of identity, reflecting on his "cross-cultural" experiences - and through it all, we hope that you will reflect on your identity, past, present, and future.
