March 28, 2022 | The Rev. Canon Dr. Jonathan Bailes

    There comes a moment in tragedy when the lament turns inward and we reckon with "the end of innocence" and "the darkness of man's heart," as William Golding puts it. In Lamentations 4, the poet's grief over the destruction of Jerusalem turns to reflect upon the horror of human sin.
