on Independence Day
I'm posting this a bit out of order, but today, as I was making my way through Paris, I heard one of our pastors at Westchester Chapel preach on Jonah. It reminded me that I hadn't posted my report about my performance of my play about Jonah in Frankfurt on Independence Day:
Next stop: Edinburgh, starting on the 100th anniversary of Eric Liddell breaking the world record in the 400m during the 1924 Paris Olympics. We'll share it in the church where he taught Sunday school and preached while a student at the University of Edinburgh. Full itinerary at www.BeyondTheChariots.com.
We created an album from my performance at The Sots Kirk Paris on July 6, exactly 100 years after Eric Liddell preached there instead of running a heat of his best race at the 1924 Paris Olympics. It has photos of the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Rt Rev. Shaw Paterson, and Miranda McIntosh, Head of the Scottish Government Office in France, who both spoke eloquently before the play about Liddell putting Christ over career. After the play the three of us unveiled a new plaque commemorating the 100th anniversary of Eric Liddell's preaching in the Scots Kirk Paris on July 6, 1924.
