Funny story about R. C. Sproul

[LadyCalvinist]

In 1998, there was an opening for an archivist at the PCA Historical Center in St. Louis. Coincidentally, PCA was having its General Assembly in St. Louis that year. When I talked to the head of the archives he told me to come out during the GA and he would fit me in.

Well, as I was I waiting for my interview, I decided to walk a room where vendors were selling stuff. As I was walking around I noticed two men in deep discussion. After a moment I realized that one of the men was R. C. Sproul. I don't know why but I suddenly wanted to kneel and kiss his ring.

But then I remembered 'I am a presbyterian. We don't do things like that.' Oh well.

You should have done it and snapped a photo Diane. It would be a classic!

I hope God has mercy on the national leaders who would not invite him to the communion table......

He has truly been a wonderful influence on this generation.

That is funny. You must be a closet papist.....

I met R. C. while working for Cal Thomas at his book table back in the late 80's at a Gaither Praise Gathering. Our selling booths were next to each other. R. C. was a short guy like me and full of life. He was very fun to talk to. For some reason I remember him dancing (ballroom type) with someone in a fun way out in front of everyone for just a moment. He was very jovial.

Diane:

Does that mean you applied for the job that I was eventually blessed with?
And that you are an archivist too?

We must talk.

And how is it you are now at All Saints Episcopal? I presume it is the best church in that area and compatible or manageable with your Calvinism.

I think I would have the same reaction!!!
