The Christian Century

Whenever I preached a dense sermon or used too many references, a missionary friend would gently remind me to proclaim the gospel simply.

I am a longtime fan of public radio. It began years ago with Garrison Keillor, whose weekly monologues on Lake Wobegon became a regular feature of my Saturday evenings. With my transistor radio perched on my kitchen windowsill, I would put supper together during the first hour of the show.
