2026-01-12—After Moses: Evensong

And here we are, at the beginning of the year but at the end of the road. It’s been an exhilarating journey. I’m quite grateful it’s one I started. I’ll miss the world of After Moses. I’ll miss Matthew and the others. But (spoiler warning, I guess), with an ending this strong it’s hard to…
