Sabre Goes to Rev. Charles Wildner

The 2016 Sabre of Boldness was awarded to Rev Charles Wildner, formerly Pastor of St Thomas Lutheran Church in Baltimore. Pastor Wildner served faithfully for some three decades in the inner city, a veritable picture of Christ among some of the most forgotten people in the land: drug addicts, homeless, destitute people. Last year a spurious and baseless charge of impropriety was brought against him by one addict, leading suddenly to Pastor Wildner 's shameless suspension from office. The editors gladly attest to this man's character and Christian humility, being saddened by the political forces that unjustly took advantage of the situation. We are honored to have the opportunity to burnish his reputation with our own. More info to follow.
