Conference examines Gospel of Thomas
Rosa Salter Rodriguez | The Journal Gazette
In a time when the Christian message seems split among members of different cultures, denominations, generations, genders and sexual orientations, it might behoove Christians to look back at the first couple of centuries after Jesus.
