I went back to Ohio
Next week I’ll be in my home state of Ohio, and while I’m there I’ll be giving a talk and doing a radio interview.
On Tuesday, July 20th at 7pm at St. Mary Byzantine Catholic Church in Youngstown, I’ll be speaking to the Society of Saint John Chrysostom, an ecumenical group composed mostly of Eastern Catholics, Orthodox and Roman Catholics. I will be talking about Catholic-Orthodox ecumenism and my recent involvement in the Orientale Lumen Conference here in DC. If you are anywhere near the Youngstown area on Tuesday, I’d love to see you there! (And if you are looking for a Catholic speaker for your group, click here.)
Next Friday, July 23rd, I’ll be an in-studio guest of the Son Rise Morning Show radio program (they are based in my hometown of Cincinnati). I’ve been a regular guest on the program for the past year, so it will be great to personally meet Brian, Matt and everyone involved in the show. I’ll try to refrain from any “WKRP in Cincinnati” jokes while I’m there.
Needless to say, blogging will be light (most likely non-existent) next week!
*Bonus points if you know the song referenced in the post title (without googling it).
**Double bonus points if you know the most likely place to hear this song today.
The Pretenders: “I went back to Ohio, but my city was gone.” I can’t remember the proper title. The most likely place for me to hear it would be iTunes, if I were a Pretenders fan.
Yes, it’s the Pretenders, but the most likely place to hear it is on conservative talk-radio stations. It’s the theme music for the Rush Limbaugh Show!
We have a winner! (The title is “My City was Gone”)
Ohio will be blessed to have you back, if only for a short time. Maybe Jenny and I will have an opportunity to visit, if you have time.
Never been to Orientale Lumen but went to a couple of meetings of the Society of St John Chrysostom in DC, a long time ago. Met Stuart Koehl, Vito from Ohio and, most memorably, the late Archbishop Vsevolod from Chicago.
