One of the things I miss about living in Austin was how easy it was to see fascinating people speak. Between three seminaries, a giant university, the state capital and a bunch of funky bookstores, there was always an opportunity to see authors, theologians, politicians and self-proclaimed philosophers sharing something.
Of course, this happens in Corpus Christi as well, you just have to look a little harder to find it. We had Paul R. Dirdak, from the UMC General Board of Global Ministries just this week. And on Sunday, December 4th at 7 p.m., another great opportunity presents itself. St. John's UMC (5300 Alameda - between Airline and Ennis Joslin) is presenting a talk from Holocaust Survivor Ernest Michel.
Mr. Michel spend six years in some of the Nazi's most notorious concentration camps. He also served as a special correspondent at the Neuremberg War Crimes Trial and is now an author, lecturer and community leader.
This will be worth the short drive. I hope to see you there.
peace,
will
