Press release of the day: Guess who’s coming to dinner with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

by Jay Gabler | 6/5/09

Paul Jarvis, my favorite media-savvy pastor, has scored again with an e-mail press release with the subject line “Guess who’s coming to dinner this weekend?” The e-mail promises that the identity of the mysterious “fourth person” of the Holy Trinity will be revealed at church services this weekend at Guardian Angels Church in Chaska. Good hook, right? Who is the “fourth person” of the Holy Trinity? My guess is that Fr. Paul is going to name the Virgin Mary…but given that Catholics have taken heat in the past from elevating Mary to a near-divine status, Sidney Poitier might be a safer pick.
