What’s better in mid-fall than some cozy storytelling around the fire? That’s what you’ll listen in on over the next two weeks of Faith Made Welcome. Settle in, grab a warm beverage, hear the gentle crackle of the fire pit (seriously!) and join podcast regulars Cheri and Paul as they chat church and religious history our special guest: Lonnie C. Rich!
As Lonnie says in this episode: “Things begin, occur, grow, exist, change, but it’s never in a vacuum.” Together we think about the history of religion, Christianity and the Baptist denomination.
This one ends with a cliffhanger, as next week we’ll answer Cheri’s final question posed here: what does Advent mean anyway? We’ll pick up there next week as we begin to look forward to the advent season.
About Our Guest
Lonnie’s a long-time student of history. Once upon a time he was a history major. He’s long been a devoted reader of all things history, and just a few years ago he taught a multi-week class in the history of Christianity for CBC. He also long served as a deacon at Commonwealth Baptist, and Cheri likes to joke that he’s “the closer” for the church. Many, many current church members might recall they went to coffee with Lonnie not long before they decided to make this place their church home. He’s a true embodiment of faith made welcome!
