As we continue to try to catch the blog up with our life (it’s currently about 2.5 weeks behind), here’s a post about our second visitors of the year: our pastor and his wife from Pittsburgh BJ and Katrina!
In an amazing display of smooth-talking skill, BJ managed to convince his Missiology professor at seminary that rather then taking a final in his class, he should be allowed 2 weeks to go to England and visit with churches there to see how they are doing church and mission in what is a much more secular culture than America. Freed from his need to take a final, BJ and Katrina high-tailed it over here and spent about 6 days with us in Birmingham meeting with people and doing some site-seeing, then went down to London for another week.
It was great to have them here and we had a blast showing them our friends and church here, English pub life, and some sweet castles and cathedrals, Olde Worlde style. We took a day and went out by train to Coventry, which is known for its cathedral that was destroyed in WWII and rebuilt in the 50’s. Kenilworth Castle is just a bus ride away, so we went there as well, on a very English (cold and rainy) morning. We have some pics of their visit here.
BJ posted a few other pics of their trip on his blog too.

Hadn't heard about the smooth talking, but it's BJ, so I'm not surprised!!
