Reference

Luke 23:33-43

The Reign of Christ is the last chapter in the story that has been unfolding throughout the Church Year; what will it reveal?  Fr. Allen argues that it was created to address a huge failure in church history and that it is precisely "the feast we need" at this time in our roiled politics; it has important personal and social implications and reveals possibilities far richer and more enchanting than "politics as usual."
