Overall good practice.  Worked on new song “Word of God Speak.”  Worked with Jon on the intro to “Lord I Lift Your Name on High” and listened for Kendall’s insights on splitting the parts for the rest of the songs.  Kendall is a great teacher and every practice with him is time in the “woodshed.”  I always get a kick when I pass the Frank Zappa sign on the way home.  Seeing that sign after practice always inspires me to go home and get cracking on the Sunday set list.

TQ Fan Mail (excerpt):

Calvin,

Fascinating and compelling work. I hated for it to end. I cannot wait to see more. I'd be delighted to contribute as one that joined St. Kateri while it still met in the HS Auditorium while I was still on active duty with the Army. We left after two years for France and returned two years later. My wife and daughter were fine with TQ the first time around, but when we returned the benign experience of two years in Paris with the Scottish and Irish priests and traditional French priests made them recoil at TQ's style. It took them about a month to get back in the frame of mind to appreciate his theology. My daughter would go on to request TQ to concelebrate her marriage with my cousin, another Tom and progressive priest.

I found TQ to be such an extraordinarily human man who, for all his failings, had a gospel inspired love of God and honest people. You are capturing that in an intriguing manner that makes one long for the rest of the story.

TQ invited me to be on the Adult Education committee. We'd meet at his townhouse and decide what videos to use for the House Church and between the masses adult education. One year we made our own video to kick off the program. It was crude compared to your work, but it captured the enthusiasm we had, inspired by TQ, for the program. I loved his classes though he challenged all of us with his multiple digressions and tangential references. He was the most brilliant theologian I'd ever encountered. His homilies were equally challenging forcing us to think differently and go back to scripture or the many other reference books he bought and passed out to the parishioners.

TQ asked me to bring communion to the sick and homebound at one point in time. I didn't realize it, but he did all the visiting himself most of the time. I think he had a conflict that Sunday. I eventually became the only visitor after he departed until I recruited and trained other Eucharistic ministers. We have a thriving program in place now, an enriching sacramentaly sharing. I can really appreciate the value of TQ's visits mentioned in the clip. He gave his whole to those in need.

When he left our parish I led an effort to bring our new pastor on board with the covenant and the house church program in the hopes of keeping this non-traditional form of governance alive. We had limited success. I also attempted to stay engaged in the adult education effort until some overbearing people on the committee turned me and the other original member away. Not much later our new pastor, Father Larry Mullaney, invited me to be his RCIA Coordinator, a position I've held for 12 years. I credit TQ with inspiring my theological curiosity.
