The itinerant preacher
Written by Michael Bannon on . Posted in Faith.
Centuries ago, a common sight on this nation’s rural lanes and footpaths was a lone figure dressed all in black, often astride a horse – an itinerant, Methodist preacher. These itinerant preachers traveled from one village to another ministering to several small congregations under their care. The most famous itinerant preacher was John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. Though Dr. Alan V. McBride drives a pickup truck and has one, large congregation under his care, this itinerant ethos was behind his pastoral assignments over twenty-seven years of ministry, including his assignment to Navarre United Methodist Church as senior minister in July of 2017.
For God’s Sake

Who doesn’t love auto-correct on their smartphones? OK, nobody loves auto-correct. I have friends who think I’m a moron because of auto-corrected texts I’ve sent. My relationship with Apple’s “Siri” is better. I can ask Siri a question and get a spoken answer. I ask Siri to take me to a destination and I get step-by-step, verbal directions. However, ours is not a trouble-free relationship. Recently, I asked Siri to take me to a destination. Traffic was heavy, so I drove along in the center lane. At the absolute last minute, Siri said, “Turn left.” No warning. No, “I’m sorry, I must have dozed off.” I missed my turn and had to fight through traffic to recover; Smart phone indeed!

Last week two of our team members went to the naturalization ceremony in Pensacola. After the ceremony, 275 new citizens and their families walked out of the Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum as America’s newest citizens. They get an awesome send-off by the judges, guests and those in attendance who wish them well and tell them congratulations as they walk out the door. It is awesome to witness those that have worked hard along the way toward the path of becoming a citizen and their excitement and sometimes tears when it finally happens. We have a story of one of our country’s newest citizens, Anna Leavenworth of Navarre, who is originally from Russia. You will find her story on page 3B.
