Most people wouldn't want to spend the bulk of their Saturday at a leadership retreat at church, but I heard that our main speaker for the day - the Rev. Michael Piazza (not the former Dodger) - was not to be missed. An inspirational speaker, some might consider him quite an oxymoron - a gay minister of a liberal megachurch in Texas. Mike has recently retired as head minister from the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, and now works for the Center for Progressive Renewal to help UCC churches grow their membership and vitality. His down-to-earth talk is indeed inspiring and gave us much food for thought.
