Clergy opened their ears, hearts to cope with ever-changing world
Placeholder Image
In response to Dr. Tom Smiley’s letter on the “Christianity beyond the catch phrases” forum held last week, having attended the forum and listened to the clergy that did participate, I think it is too bad that he chose not to attend and add his voice to the community. Instead Dr. Smiley pontificates on what he imagines was discussed (not having been there) and has no idea what he missed. These were my takeaways: Our churches in Gainesville are challenged by a vast number of interactions with the human condition and our ability to cope with the ever-changing world of today.
