The overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court of the United States has exposed a deep rift underlying the broader Culture War in this country: how we read and interpret foundational documents.

Not only are they unable to escape the inevitability of subjective bias in the process of interpretation, but both founding documents point to progress as a fundamental value of their very design and purpose. #roevwade #progressivechristianity #bible #episcopalchurch #justice #ethics #church #culturewars
