THE VIEW: <strong>AMERICANA</strong>

About Me

Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

AMERICANA

I seldom eat McDonalds, but on several occasions in the 90's after spending some time in Moscows, it was good to leave the local fare and enjoy the familiar flavor of the fat from the Golden Arches.

There's nothing like a taste of home when you're a long way from its comforts. I guess it's the same for our missions team working hard in the heat of the DR right now. Content but tired, hopefully they were suitably refreshed by spending this evening at a Pizza Hut several miles from where they are based.

Rumor has it they put away more pizza than anyone could imagine. But the check was under $100 (just!), so I guess they showed some restraint.
