General Comments

Hey folks,

A couple of things:

1) A very heartfelt THANK YOU! to those who responded to my semi-annual appeal that I sent out last week. We cannot do what we do here without your very generous support. For those of you who might have missed it because you left for the July 4th holiday on Thursday rather than Friday, you can see it here: http://www.biblechristiansociety.com/newsletter/detail/333 and read about the impact that the Bible Christian Society is having around the world thanks to your support. Remember, it's never too late to donate, and we will refuse no donation, no matter how small, or how large [insert smiley face here].

2) For those of you in the Birmingham area, I will be speaking 3 nights in a row at St. Theresa's in Leeds on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, July 27-29. Each talk will begin at 6:30 PM. Free to the public. The talks will be on Authority, Sola Scriptura, and Sola Fide.

Introduction

Last week I was featured on a website called "The Quaz," which is the creation of Jeff Pearlman, an atheist, who is the author of six New York Times best selling books (sports-related), and has been a writer for Sports Illustrated, Newsday, and a few other publications. I am going to let that "Quaz" serve as my newsletter for this week. He sent me 10 main questions, and then 10 whimsical ones which I answered in writing and then sent back to him. He did not change or edit a single word. Even though he doesn't agree with much of what we, as Catholics, believe, he was nonetheless interested in what I have to say and gave me the opportunity to share my views with his audience. For that he is to be commended. It is rare to find someone who is open to giving the other side a fair hearing, no matter how much they disagree with the other side. So, please read the interview and leave a comment (if you can figure out how), and please put in a nice word for Mr. Pearlman's openness to allowing me to share our beliefs with his folks.
