In late February I travelled for work purposes for the first time since the pandemic began three years ago. My travels took me to the Pittsburgh area where I spoke at two Christian institutions of higher education. The first was Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, where a good friend of mine, Bill Witt, teaches. Trinity is an independent Anglican seminary that trains prospective clergy in several jurisdictions, including the largest Anglican provinces in Africa.

Sometimes an invitation was extended in the church parking lot. Other times my parents proposed a drive after lunch and we wandered roads and highways for an hour or two until one or the other commented, “So-and-so lives near here.” Then we’d stop by to check. Adults drank coffee and kids neon-hued Freshie.
