Fr. Terry Martin, aka Fr. Jake at his blog Father Jake Stops the World, gave a lecture in a series on evangelism in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, DC. His lecture is excellent. I've had the pleasure of meeting Fr. Terry at our gathering New York some years ago and again in Anaheim, where we had a lovely chat in the lobby of the Hilton, and I enjoyed his company at another gathering of a group of us the following evening. He's a bit of an introvert, which was the only surprise to me when I first met him. I expected him to be an extrovert. So much for expectations.
The video is nearly one hour long, but it's well worth your time. You watch TV that long, don't you? Well, take the time to watch this TV. The time flies. You won't be sorry. Fr. Terry is not selling snake oil in the video.
What a treat that was. Thank you Mimi and Jake/Terry.
ReplyDeleteYes, it´s the ¨personal stories¨...I particularly like the REAL fact that we share of ourselves online everyday...pieces of our personal stories are told here and there and carried everywhere...little trails that lead off into the depths of reality (sitemeters don´t lie)...thank you again. It was extra special listening and watching Fr. Jake (who he is to me)...he is quite a bit more enthusiastic and supercharged as a speaker than I thought him to be (without ever knowing)...amazing, we can´t quite capture the whole person/message online (but we certainly are very close to being experts on listening/reading and paying attention).
I love our stories as they unfold worldwide everyday.
Thank you Jake and Mimi for allowing me the many opportunities to tell my ongoing saga in all those various ways/venues.
We are appreciated and beloved, that´s a very good place to start.

Isn't it wonderful, Leo? Fr. Terry has a zeal for evangelism that I don't see in many Episcopalians, and he has such a powerful story to tell, many powerful stories, really.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome. I am proud to post the link.
The connections made and the relationships formed on the internet are amazing. It is indeed a new thing that is happening. Imagine! You in Central America, me in south Louisiana, Terry in New Jersey, and all of us interconnected.
What you have said so eloquently!

ReplyDeleteGöran, I believe that I would, too. He's quite persuasive.
