The wonderful Fr. Rodney, parish priest of St. Stephen's
Back at St. Stephen'sFr. Rodney, the Anglican pastor of St. Stephen's Church in Enfield, and his dear wife Vicky gave me yet another warm welcome as I returned to preach at their parish, this time to give the Discipleship Program. The last time I was here I had given a short talk on love, which had resulted in an open invitation to return. As I had only four hours to conduct the program, I condensed it as best I could. Earlier in the day he had invited me to give the homily during the Mass.
A truly Spirit filled man, Fr. Rodney could give a few lessons to his Catholic counterparts in largeness of heart and graciousness of hospitality, though I am pretty sure that his desire for Christian unity and his willingness to take risks must not endear him to members of his own order. It is a real pity that such men are such a rarity.
