Hello all:
So, I dropped my wife off at work this morning, came back home, and found a large package sitting outside my door from College Press.
When I was at the Pepperdine Lectures, I had the occasion to meet Carl Ketcherside’s daughter. While we were talking she offered to send me a couple of books by her late father, and I agreed.
I lugged this huge package I found outside my door into the house, and opened it, and found 12 volumes of Hardcover books…”The Works of Carl Ketcherside”. The set is about as large as a smaller set of Encyclopedias, including his writings from the Mission Messenger magazine that he published.
This is more than I ever imagined. I expected to get a couple of paperbacks, and instead got this huge collection. I’m excited…I’m not sure when I’ll have time to read all of it…I shouldn’t run out of reading material for a while.

That is awesome. I assure you, one the most powerful voices in the churches of Christ that had an impact on me and aided me in taking the spiritual blinders off my eyes. Good stuff there, I’m jealous.

Carl Ketcherside had a lot to say about unity, and about thosee aspects of “church of Christ” practice and hermeneutics that hinder unity. Perhaps he was one generation ahead of his time. At any rate, you should have an unending supply of material for your blog now! I’m looking forward to hearing more!

I got the privelege of meeting Sue at the ACU lectures. She was a wonderful lady with a great heart for unity. A lady from my home church gave me the Ketcherside works. It’s some good stuff. Enjoy. (I’m slowly getting back to reality and will reply to your email soon.)
