            The Unitarian Church in Charleston has invited me to speak this Sunday which is Father’s Day. I will be introduced or perhaps roasted by my son, Michael. It is a beautiful, historic church. My topic will be, “Apples of Gold in Baskets of Silver,” based on the Psalms. The pastor called with a warm welcome. This is what civility is about since everyone knows and respects the fact that I always speak from a Christian perspective. Many years ago when I was teaching an adult Sunday school class at First Baptist of Charleston, we had a series of monthly discussions with the Secular Humanists. It was a learning experience for all of us. If I survive the introduction, it should be a wonderful event. The service will be in Gage Hall next door since the church is undergoing some historic restoration.
