Rome, Rome on the Range . . .

If you are in the Colorado Springs area, consider spending the afternoon of April 20 with us.

THE ROAD TO ROME: LOCAL CONVERTS SHARE THEIR STORIES!

Road Home Forum: Converts share their paths into the Catholic Church. St. Francis Apologetics will host this very popular event at St Francis Parish Hall, 2650 Parish View in Colorado Springs on Sunday, April 20, from 3:30-6:00 PM. Our panel includes Paul McCusker, developer of Adventures in Odyssey for Focus on the Family, John and Edith Morrison, former Nazarene ministry team, and Sherry Weddell, co-founder and co-director of the Catherine of Siena Institute. Hear their stories and join us for the Q&A.

The organizers asked me to help publicize this little gathering so I've done my bit.

Oh, won't Mark Shea's kids be jealous that I'm gonna be talking with the man who created Adventures in Odyssey - the kid's radio program they grew up with!

Yes, folks, there are Catholics working for Focus on the Family - I know several although they are definitely an out-numbered minority.

I so seldom get to do stuff like this that it will be fun.

What's also fun is that it doesn't involve a 3 am wake up call and an airplane.

Paul McCusker is way cool! But I'm not jealous. I'm. Not. Jealous!

Hmph!

I'd love to listen in on something like this from the heart of EvangelicalChristianLand. Could someone record an mp3 or wave file and post it? Just wondering!

Hi Alisa:

I'll forward your request onto the organizers.

My own conversion story (with lots of stuff I can't being to talk about in this much more limited setting) is available on an inexpensive cd called
"The Making of a Bi-Cultural Catholic"
