Frank Ramirez, Homecoming Preacher |
|
Currently pastor of the Everett, Pennsylvania Church of the
Brethren, Frank is also an author and a playwright. Perhaps
you've read his weekly "Out of Context" columns in A
Guide for Biblical Studies that our International
Lesson Sunday School class uses. Or maybe you've laughed
through or been inspired by one of his Messenger
magazine articles. If you've worshiped here during this
300th anniversary year of our denomination, you've probably
heard a "Tercentennial Minute" he wrote. He was the Tuesday
night speaker at the 2001 Annual Conference here in
Baltimore (pictured above with a bag of ballpark peanuts,
ask him about it in October).
Several books bear his name, including a Brethren classic on
The Love Feast. His most recent is
Brethren Brush with Greatness, a collection of
32 stories of famous persons whose lives touched the
Brethren. He has collaborated on two full length musicals,
"Angels Everywhere" and "A Simple Feast," and written
several plays - many pulling from Brethren history. We
anticipate what God may have to say to us through Frank at
this century celebration of our congregation. |
