Description

Retired church administrator Albert P. Whitaker, Junior and other contributors balance seriousness with joviality as they explore "things that matter" in this diverse compilation. Whitaker expresses deep antagonism and concern for today's pulpit. He resurrects Charles G. Finney's 1873 complaints that the American pulpit is to blame for loss of interest in religion, for degenerated consciences in both the ministry and public press, and for corruption in government and politics. Whitaker also discusses poor church administration practices - and how to correct them, so that a church may achieve its mission purpose.Another theme is the difference between how a church typically views sin and how God sees it. Congregations seem to focus too much on the sin and not enough on The Cross. Employing a tongue-in-cheek method, Olio classifies sin as church people commonly view it - by reserving and assigning church pews to different classes of sinners. The emphasis is that sin classification is ridiculous, and judging sin is God's prerogative. Lighter readings are interspersed within Olio. Several chapters reopen a "cold case" investigation of the author's great-grandfather, Clifton Peck (alias C. L. Peckham). Other chapters offer poetry, humorous and entertaining pieces on family and surroundings, genealogy and mystery, real life happenings, and more tongue-in-cheek musings - all complimented with appealing vintage images.
