Sometimes I find articles in your daily list that are absolutely GOLD! Thank you for the one today on bigotry. My Sunday sermon is about antisemitism and how it is connected to all the bigotry in our world today. The article by Dr. Pies is a hugely important contribution to my research.

Thank you very much!
