Dirks, M.Div., Psy.D. One of my earliest childhood memories is of hearing the church bell toll for Sunday morning worship in the small, rural town in which I was raised. The Methodist Church was an old, wooden structure with a bell tower, two childrens Sunday School classrooms cubbyholed behind folding, wooden doors to separate it from the sanctuary, and a choir loft that housed the Sunday school classrooms for the older children. It stood less than two blocks from my home. As the bell rang, we would come together as a family, and make our weekly pilgrimage to the church....... to read the rest of his story, go to the site and ..... to see his preacher certifcates and read about other Former Christian Priest http://www.thetruereligion.org/priests.htm#anthony His story is too long (so I cant post it) but very good so plz read it. It shows how this man converted after seeing an excellent example of some Muslims. May Allah (swt) help us all to be good examples |
