We must return to proclaiming powerfully and joyfully the event of Christ's death and Resurrection, heart of Christianity, principal fulcrum of our faith, powerful lever of our certainty, impetuous wind that sweeps away every fear and indecision, every doubt and human calculation. — B16

The central Illinois/Indiana chapter of the BHT just had it’s first meatspace meeting.

Shea and Chaplain Mike,

Even though now I live in Boston, I’d love to be counted in for a meatspace meeting in Central IL sometime over the next couple of months if we can swing it. I’m originally from Mattoon and lived 4 years in Champaign-Urbana while doing undergrad at UIUC. I attended University Baptist Church on campus. I have a feeling some of your parishioners are friends of mine, actually.

I’m going to be home over Thanksgiving and Christmas (which admittedly are not great times for pastors), but I’d love to meet you guys if there is any time. I know of a lurker who lives in C-U too. :)
