[Faith-Talk] Our Ministries.

[The Rev. Christopher L. Smith]

I have been blessed to be able to continue as a member of the clergy. Locally, I continue to fill pulpits on a regular basis, including one congregation where I preach and preside over the sacraments monthly, which is good continuity without having to deal with all the harrows of a pastorate. I also continue to serve as a military chaplain through the Air Force e Aux. I did stop my service as a hospital chaplain for various reasons, but was supported there. I also continue to serve in the broader church, currently on the regional c council for my denomination. Officially, I am honorably retired in my denomination. 

Today, I will be worshiping in Harare, Zimbabwe. This is where my co-leader of the Christian Fellowship in college in Wales was from, so this is a spiritual blessing. I had a good conversation with them (a mini-service ministry) about how their website had weekday activities but not Sunday service times, and the same is posted outside the church. We talked about how to encourage more people to church, highlighted by my blindness but in a way blind to all.
