Today I had the pleasure of speaking at Grace Episcopal Church in Concord. And when I say pleasure, I truly mean it. During the peace, which was after I spoke, almost every single person came up to me and thanked me for my presence. Their smiles, and warm handshakes let me know I had made some impact on them. Whether or not my being there produces donations is really beside the point.
My speech was lengthy, and lacked the "kaboom" of an impact all speech writers look to achieve. But it was great to be able to speak before a group of people, and to express in so many words (too many words, really) all that I have come to believe about our responsibility to help those who are less fortunate.
I hope to speak at a few more churches, including St. Paul's, South Congregational, and Christ Church.
