And You Call Yourselves Christian? Join Me Gift from the Soul

by the Rev. Joyce Stickney

Some months ago at a Newcomer's Class, Christa Buswell, a St. A's parishioner (among many other wonderful things) said to me with a twinkle in her eye, "Have you read `The Dream' by Wesley Frensdorff? It's one of the tracts in the rack." I was a little embarrassed that I hadn't and quickly grabbed one to read on the way home. "It is fabulous," she told me and continued to tell me that she felt everyone should have a copy and that she would like to pay for this gift. She continued to remind me almost every time she saw me of this intention until we made the purchase and put one in every bulletin for the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday services. A few copies are still available in the office for those who would like one and were away that weekend. Thanks to Christa's generosity and passion, Bishop Frensdorff's Dream and Vision of a new church has been offered to feed and fuel our souls.
