Catch Up
We were at the Banff Pastors Conference at the incredible Banff Springs Hotel. This is whithout a doubt the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in in the world. The conference was good. Rod Wilson and Reg Bibby were featured speakers.
This is the best I have ever heard Rod speak. Rod is the president of Regent College and a truly fantastic guy. He opened up about the heartbreak in raising his adopted problem who has been difficult to raise.
Bibby said that the tide was changing - Canadians are now more open then ever to good ministry. This does not seem to ring true in secular Yaletown.
This Ted haggard thing still boggles my mind. But I guess it is a good warning to all of us. We all have the capability to fall. I may not be tempted by male escorts, but there is enough temptation all around me, that I could fall in a million different ways everyday.
Along with Ted Haggard, there has been a lot of talk about a Seattle pastor's comments on the Haggard scandal. Mark Driscoll is the pastor of Mars Hill church in Seattle - a very large church made up primarily of young adults. Driscoll says, that a lot of pastor's wives let themselves go (do not try to stay attractive) - as a result their husbands may be more prone to stray.
So basically, if your wife is not working out, you are more likely to have an affair. What nonsense. This is a pretty big hole Driscoll has dug for himself. Driscoll has been a fairly consistent misogynist - but this one goes right over the edge.
Anyways, good to be back home. Internet connection at the Banff Springs costs $14/day. Not worth it - so that's why I'm so behind.
