My buddy Father David delivers another animated, very interactive sermon at St Hilda’s Anglican Church in Georgeville, Belize. He’s a superb priest and pastor, and a favorite buddy of mine. Fluent in Spanish, he served in South America before landing in western Belize. Indiana born and bred, but he also served in San Diego and studied a bit at Oxford across the pond, channeling C.S. Lewis. We been known to raise a glass to Lewis after hours.
Father David, who formerly assisted the rector at the St. Andrew’s Anglican in San Ignacio, is an impressive young priest, age 30, and very dynamic and animated preacher, as well as a caring pastor. He’s also one of my best buddies–always good company for serious conversation or just a good time and a lot of laughs.
In today’s announcements to his flock he talked about the rising attendance at the daily prayer services he’s started, which are held at 7:30 every morning, Monday through Friday.
“We had 17 people show up to start the day with prayer at that early hour one day last week,” he noted. “I was so happy my socks were rolling up and down.”
Postcards from church, mostly:

There’s BZ in blue on the Caribbean below Mexico’s Yucatan and down the shore from Cancun, with neighboring Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the south, and more of Central America
Until next time, be like the Belizean spider monkey and just hang in there
Pablo,
Glad to see you’re finally “gettin’ religion” in the Anglican communion. John Wesley would be SO PROUD! (and I am too!…LOL)
Yaw serve wine, one more good reason to hang out with you people.
