Advent vs Christmas – Twitterview with Rev. Geoffrey Lentz
The following is a twitterview between Energion owner Henry Neufeld and Rev. Geoffrey Lentz. We planned this as a Tweeterview, but we had some technical difficulties.
Geoffrey Lentz is the author of The Gospel According to Saint Luke: A Participatory Study Guide and co-author of Learning and Living Scripture. He is the associate pastor of First United Methodist Church in Pensacola, FL.
