Amber says that the chapter’s Tuesday call will still go on as usual using a different theme.

In the article, three of our most articulate writers on the subject—Gary Wunder, President Riccobono, and Dr. Maurer—offer their thoughts on what we believe, how we express our beliefs, and how we can avoid twisting our philosophy into something that it isn’t.
