Hi, welcome to Telling the Story, I'm your host Fr. David Smith. Today's Telling the Story is inspired by the gospel of the 5th Sunday of Matthew, St. Matthew's story of the Gergesene Demoniacs. Sometimes when I read this story, I wonder - what leader of that community had the task of telling our Lord that He was not welcome, that He should leave? Today's Telling the Story is titled "The Mayor of Kursi."
