From London Ontario-It seems like a good idea, but his wife is calling him mad.
Preach for 55 hours straight; how hard could it be? After all, Rev. Kevin George managed to bicycle 2,200 km for charity last year, although neither his body nor his wife want him to repeat that endeavour.
Still, George, the parish priest at St. Aidan’s Church in west London, is restless.
“I believe the church should engage in the community outside its doors,” he said. “I began thinking about what (else) I could do to attract attention.”
An idea struck George during a recent trip to his native Newfoundland. His father, a handyman, asked for some help with a task and while George did his best, he said manual labour isn’t his strong suit.
“My father said, ‘It’s a good job you can talk. If you couldn’t talk you wouldn’t eat.’”
