In adopting such a format, I acted like professors act—my words directed more to fellow professionals than to the people actually sitting there listening (or not listening) to what I had to say.

It was a typical 80-year-old house, a few blocks off campus, a perfect bohemian place for a library school grad-student, and a curate at the campus ministry.

To be a Christian is to believe we are commanded and authorised to say certain things to the world; to say things that will make disciples of all nations. Our words matter. We have to think with care about them and to try and know something of how they will be heard. If they are not heard as good news...
