    Heard your comments on the Spirituality of Imperfection at the Atlanta Catechist Conference. The were simply exceptional, something educators of all stripes should hear. I’ll check your Blog, if I can find them in written form I’ll pass them along to my daughter who is Chairman of the Decatur School Board here in Atlanta.

    I left feeling like the Church is in good hands.

      Thanks, John. What a pleasure it was to speak in Atlanta (and to catch a Braves game at the new stadium afterwards). Let’s all continue to spead “The Gospel of Joy” and know that the Church is indeed in good hands always, by the grace of God!
      Peace always,
      Kevin
