The Swamp Monsters
This trip, our largest ever, was dedicated to helping a Gulf Community with residual cleanup after Katrina. We worked in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, across the sound from Biloxi.

The Bishop Marmion Resource Center has several books (and one video) by or about Marc Nikkel:

Archibald Shaw: Witness to Christ in the Sudan

Sermon preached in Christ Church

The way to faith in God for many of us has run through a person. One definition of a saint is a person through whom God's light shines. You would of course expect me as a seminary professor to emphasize the importance, for a mature faith in God, of asking questions and of engaging in serious study. But most of us would never ask our questions or pursue them seriously if we had not first met someone who in their person communicated to us deep trust in God. These people who have embodied for us trust in God are unforgettable. They have made us who we are.

Neff Powell and the party and Bp. David James and the party. Our hands are in the air, open to receive you.
