Sorry, No Church Without Walls Tonight (video)

ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air.  Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 8 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :

 Church Without Walls - Conversations and Compline

P.S. - Due to a meeting, Rev. Ed will not do a weekly chat.  He will be back next week.
