Ross speaks.


This is the best picture I got because Ross wouldn't let me use flash during his actual talk. My photos are terrible, but his talk was terrific! (This was taken while he was setting up.)
He gave a great talk at the American Chesterton Society annual conference about the Paradoxes of Christianity -- one of the chapters of Chesterton's book, Orthodoxy. When he sends it to me, I'll post the speech here. Sooner or later, you'll also be able to order the CD from the Society's web site.

It really was a wonderful conference and we got to catch up with some old friends. We also got to acquaint ourselves better with Helen and Peter Andersen -- a couple from our church, University Presbyterian, in Seattle. They attend Ross's Sunday School class and we knew they had come to the Chesterton conference in the past, but we'd not gotten to know them in our own town. Funny how that works. Also, being in St. Paul, we got to meet a lot of people from Wisconsin. In fact, the Midwest Chesterton Society used to hold the annual conference in Milwaukee for many years -- so there were a lot of people from that area.

There were people from Spain and someone from Norway -- so coming from Mexico wasn't that big a deal.

The dogs were well taken care of while we were gone. And they were ecstatic to see us return.
