URBANA '87

“You guys forgot to say how moving the mass communion at the end was.”

Well, maybe we didn’t forget

I’ll never forget the conversation I overheard at lunch. 

“I'd give it up to the Catholics. But I can’t get over the confessional,” said a girl. 

“The Bible says to confess your sins before men!” a Texan said. 

I also went out into the rain to get the new Daniel Amos record from a Christian bookstore I remembered that, boy oh boy. 

I also remembered the words to the conference themesong were set to the Vangelis tune from Chariots of Fire. “To live for my Faaaa-ther. To do His Good Will...”

I also got a spiffy new songbook out of the deal — I tried to remember that. 

But the mass communion — not so much. 

 “Daniel Amos is in this mess somewhere...”
