[Oe List ...] NPR the story of two Illinois people and their faith

[Diann McCabe]

Pat,
I heard Bill Holmes give a series of guest sermons on prayer in Denton (UMC)
in the mid-80s.  He visited from his church in D.C.  His talks on prayer
were very familiar from our Order memory and were like oxygen.  I still have
the tapes.
