In her message, "Sincerely Wrong", the Rev. Dr. Renita Weems, biblical scholar and ordained church elder, reflects on those instances in our lives when in our attempt to do the right thing, we often do the wrong thing. She says, "We cause more harm than good. Sometimes our zeal to do right blinds us to our own evil. Sometimes believing we are right, time passes and we discover that we were sincerely wrong."
Dr. Renita J. Weems is a Bible scholar and an ordained elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church whose scholarly insights into modern faith, biblical texts, and the role of spirituality in everyday lives have made her a much sought after author and speaker.
