As the dust was starting to settle last December from the bitter debate and then rejection of a charter school called Madison Prep, I got a message from Madison School Board member Lucy Mathiak.
She said she was curious about the relative silence of the Madison clergy over an issue that touched on issues of social justice, race, education and the fabric of our community.
“There is a serious need for pastoral engagement to help with the very raw wounds that are out there,” Mathiak wrote.
