This blog hopes to provide an outlet for the musings of one deacon in Memphis, and to provide a forum for commentary on issues of import to the parish and the diocese.
It is meant to be interactive; I will respond to questions about any of my posts, as well as to questions about life in the parish and the diocese.
It is my prayer that the People of God will be built up through these musings and postings.

Deacon Chip, I am a deacon in New Orleans. I have been asked by the office of black catholics to put together a conference for our black men. Please give me some ideas relative to touching the hears and minds of our black men and get them more involved in the church. Tell me about your speaking fees and how to book you.
