Podcast night

Check out this link and listen to Fr. John Finley's latest podcast (Feb. 21, 2010), which is actually a replay of a lecture Fr. Jack Sparks, of blessed memory, gave in 1988 at the first Missions and Evangelism Conference in the Antiochian Archdiocese. Fr. John calls this lecture, "Vintage Sparks." I listened to it tonight and it is FANTASTIC! Also, it's coherent, which is very important. Anyway, Fr. Jack talks about how to deal with people who are "unchurched, uninterested, and unrepentant." Basically, he says that your job is to deliver the message of the Gospel, and don't worry about how people receive it.

Earlier in the day I listened to this brief podcast by Fr. Andrew Damick, the priest at our parish assignment in Emmaus, PA, and a good friend of ours. He presents interesting thoughts about the "home" while introducing this new podcast.
