It is the part of the Trinity that I try not to think about. I think that this comes from my fear of what could happen if I let the Holy Spirit have a go at my life or the situation that I am in, because you hear stories of what happens when you let go and let the Holy Spirit in.

  • R.A. Dickey: athlete, author, doctor, disciple

    R.A. Dickey: athlete, author, doctor, disciple

    The language at this year’s Wycliffe College Convocation took an unusual turn. A baseball feeling sneaked into the customary academic parlance as Toronto star pitcher R.A. Dickey—clothed in a scarlet gown instead of his Blue Jays uniform—received an honorary doctorate in sacred letters.
