Chatting today with a parish staff member today, she was reminded of an older conversation when the diocesan faith formation director said that we always need to be conscious of what is being taught by our words and actions.  With that intro, I leave you to this NY Times article:  TBN Fight Offers Glimpse Inside Lavish TV Ministry – NYTimes.com.

As a Franciscan, one is reminded of the words often associated with St. Francis of Assisi:  preach the Gospel at all times, use words if necessary.  My religious formation must have been lacking, I am not familiar with the TBN gospel.
