Many years ago, Roger Hides from England and his family did a clergy exchange with Orville James, who was minister at Central United Church in Port Colborne. After Orv left Central in 1996, Roger came back to be the minister there for 8 years. While he was in Port Colborne, his church put on Godspell. In 2005, Kathy Dahmer and some others organized a Godspell reunion and arranged to take it on the road -- really on the road, all the way to England. Diane and two of our kids, Aidan and Miriam, were part of the group who spent 10 days in England in August, 2005. Among the families they met were the Turtons. That's who we're staying with right now. And tomorrow, one of us is preaching at St. Andrew's Methodist Church in Sedgley.
Our formation into Christian faith has so much to do with the connections we form with people, those seemingly chance encounters that radiate out in an ever widening circle of relationships. To paraphrase James McLendon, theology (and faith) is biography.
