This is an extra special episode of Pulpit To Pew. Rev. Gibson was visiting Troy, Alabama this Sunday and Johnny was out of pocket. So, we thought this was a great week to share some discussions that didn't make the last couple of episodes. Beverly and Johnny talk about Paul's message of unity to the Corinthians and how that relates to the "common ground" and differences of all the Christian denominations. Plus, they share some personal entertaining and inspiring literature and movie recommendations. Enjoy the show and thanks for your support.

What you will hear:
> Paul's admonishment of the lack of unity in the name of Christ
> Early Christians seeing the Apostles as a fixation and not the original message
> Joining a church because of the body of the church, not the head and the charismatic leader
> With so many different denominations and organizations can the Is  Christian world be considered united?
> Focusing on the common ground of our religions, not the differences
> What does unite all our different Anglican communities?
> Can religion help to combine our divided nation?
> Church's as community example of Unity
> Showing others an example of Christian acts, not just words
> Episcopal confession versus Roman Catholic confession
> The scale of penance in the Catholic Church
> The liturgical form of Episcopal confession
> You come to Church to unburden yourself that something that is weighing on you with a private meeting with a Priest
> The Priest's role in matters of forgiveness, personal and marital relationships, and matters of mental health
> Beverly's book recommendation of Snowy Tower: Parzival and the Wet Black Branch of Language
> Johnny's movie recommendation of the unlikely friend and mentor story St. Vincent starring Bill Murray. You can find St. Vincent on Netflix.
