The other night a new friend, Carolyn Talbot, gave a few of us tickets to see a Brott Summer Musical Festival presentation. The night was called Classically Celtic and it featured Stephanie Cadman and the National Academy Orchestra. I really enjoyed the blending of classical music with a stepdancing fiddler. I love Canadian music!!!! Thanks Carolyn.
I found a quote from an early critic of Christianity (2nd century) as quoted by Mirslav Volf in Theological Reflections on the Relation Between Church and Culture in 1 Peter.
"If all men wanted to be Christians, the Christians would no longer want them."
Celsus in Origen, Contra Celsum 3,5.7.9
Okay, so I have been somewhat of an absent blogger lately. It's because I have been having fun away from the computer this summer.
A quick update.
Just spent a great week with Deanne and Phil, Nicholas and Matthew (sister-in-law and family). We swam, went to Marineland, McDonald's, and the park, played catch and had an all around good time.
Oh, the other thing that happened - Leanne and I bought our first house!!!
The pictures will come.
I love summer.
Last week I was just offered a permanent position in the church that I am working in with Leanne (I was on a contract until August). So Leanne and I are now the permanent pastoral staff at Mount Hamilton Baptist Church. We are so excited to be working together. Yippie!!!
