The news of George Beverly Shea’s death was not a shock for me–one expects that to happen fairly soon when a person reaches the age of 104. But I do feel a loss.

A mainline denominational leader thanked me for a talk that I had just given at a multi-faith gathering. “I like everything you said,” he remarked. “There’s just one thing that bothers me.
