Reason for Hope
A few weeks ago I got a DVD in the mail and just now got a chance to see it. The DVD was of a talk entitled Truth, given by Fr. Larry Richards, a diocesan priest from the Diocese of Erie, PA. He has a regular show on Relevant Radio.
You can tell quickly that he is from Pittsburgh. He is a very compelling speaker and he has recently launched an interactive website: www.thereasonforourhope.org. The site is managed by The Reason for Our Hope Foundation which was founded by Fr. Larry.
Fr. Larry’s goal is to change the world by reaching 15 million people with the ultimate Reason for our Hope, Jesus Christ. The site allows visitors to send e-cards to family and friends, receive free MP3 downloads and screensavers, and more, all containing the message of hope. The only thing visitors need to do is register.
Check it and and see what you think.

Kinda reminds me of the LCMS’s ABLAZE program.
I am not a fan of it.

I’ve heard his homilies on the radio. I think he’s really good!

If you don’t mind me asking, how can you “tell quickly” that he is from Pittsburgh? I was unaware of any obvious “Pittsburg-ian” accent (like people from “Bah-ston” or “Shi-caaah-goaw” or “M-therf-in’ New F-in’ York!”).

Well, certainly he is not extreme in his speech, but it seems clear that if he is not on guard then he speaks fluent Pittsburghese.

Interesting… and so I’ve learned something new today.
