Related passage: What Was Never Repealed
Ephphatha means “be opened”. Its invitation lives here within The Narrow Road: reading scripture closely, weighing the ancient texts, and making room to be still.
We are not a church and we do not tell anyone what to believe. We gather the teaching, the research and the music, and leave the discerning to you.
