Mid-term elections are over! Where do we go from here? Does it depend on whether your hopes have been dashed by the results, or reassured by them? No matter what the outcomes are, let’s remember that the values which we affirm and promote haven’t gone away. Future generations are depending on the work that we carry forward. Also, our congregant Ted Scott-Femenella will offer his perspective as a Vietnam War veteran.
