Paul writes from prison in a tradition repeated since his time by many activists, scholars and prophets of the Gospel. But this letter is less prophetic and more a love letter to a beloved congregation. In the style of Paul's letter to the Christians in Philippi, Pastor Amy writes her own letter of thanksgiving and encouragement to the Mennonites of Seattle.
