Out of the Catholic Closet

Gus from Romecoming has revealed to the world that his real name is Kevin, and his new blog will be called Emergentpdx. Kevin is a seminarian at the excellent Multnomah Biblical Seminary in Portland, and has found himself called to the Catholic Church, which has put him in kind of a tough situation. He's committed to serving in a Protestant church for a while longer, so he's put off his Tiber-swim until he's free to do it. You can read his steps through this process at the archives at the old blog. Do – it's fascinating.

You might stop by and offer Kevin some encouragement. Frankly, I'm impressed by his sense of honor and his refusal to let down a congregation that's counting on him, even if he's called elsewhere. Rome will still be there when he's done, and I think God would much rather have obedience through perseverence than through abandonment, if that makes sense. We're praying, Kevin!
