At Conversatio we are aware that our community of friends live in countries all over the world. So, while the upcoming July 4th celebrations in the USA will not be as poignant for all, we still hope that every day is a good time to express gratitude for the freedoms that are enjoyed, and to feel compassion for those who are not living in freedom. We also thought this would be a good time to consider how Dallas Willard has consistently reminded us that the Divine Conspiracy is about the freedom that comes with alignment with a power that is greater than any political power, living a life surrendered to the loving Creator of the Universe.
