Wadi Cherith

"St. Paul preached and people rioted. I preach and they give me tea."
-N.T. Wright
We've all heard good homilies and we've heard bad homilies. Have you ever wondered what a priest is thinking while he's preaching?
This week's episode of Wadi Cherith is a little different in tone. Instead of diving into a theological or cultural topic, we will be discussing our experience of preaching the Word of God. Join us as we use Aristotle's classic modes of persuasion (Ethos, Pathos, Logos) to discuss this integral part of our worship.
