Analysis and comments on At The Smithville Methodist Church by Stephen Dunn

Comment 1 of 1, added on February 19th, 2005 at 4:56 PM.

I first heard your poem, "At The Smithville Methodist Church" in a lecture
delivered by Marcus Borg. I knew I had to have a copy because it is so
representative of the panic that many parents have experienced when a child
begins to get serious about Jesus.

I am sharing this poem with a Lenten Study group I am
leading next Monday morning. It seems to fit in very
well with our session topic, "Meeting Jesus In Real Time." Thanks so much
for sharing your poem on the Internet.
Shalom,
Del Roper
