Feel free to comment here and\/or on Mart’s blog.\u00a0 Enjoy and thank you to Cynthia for sending this hug to me today!\u00a0 You can visit Cynthia’s blog here<\/strong><\/a> or her web site here<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Cynthia’s material on hierarchy, spiritual abuse, the Family Integrated Church movement and more is extensive and thought-provoking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
