Why are we ashamed to talk about God? 7:14pm on 03 Feb 2009 Hi Rani,

I'm a Catholic priest & a school chaplain. I'm VERY happy to talk about my faith! I spent several hours on Firday night with a young Missionary talking faith (and drinking) to about 40/50 people in a pub. We all had a whale of a time; priest; missionary; people of all faiths & none! We left as friends & on Sunday they said it was one of the best nights they'd had in the pub for a very long time!
If people won't come to our churches, then like Jesus, we should go to their "churches", be that pubs, clubs or anywheere else. As an ex-publican (the youngest in London in 1977) I'm very comfortable talking faith in a pub, club or supermarket. We may not "convert" anybody on the night, but we can begin to change the image of the Church and that faith can be enjoyed! After all, Jesus & his disciples spent 3 years eating & drinking their way through the Holy Land.
I'd be more than happy to respond to the package! I have a little radio/press experience.
Fr Ray
