As I write this, it is late afternoon in Australia and after midnight on the American East Coast.
I have put together some thoughts from two Anglican priest's homilies in the morning here, with ideas of my own and with images from the 1930's.
Father Grant Edgecumbe this morning added the ideas: “Be Salt. Be light. Share a joke.” to tell his congregation of some ways to live out the reputed Assisi maxim: “Preach the Gospel ……… Use words if necessary."
“Faith is relational.” said Father Michael Bowie in his homily in his national heritage church across a large city park on the same side of town and added that those in the church need to “be refreshed in who we are.”

God Bless Freedom And The Happiness It Can Bring
Sorry St. Francis, Mr. Fox & Pope Francis. -— your belief & teaching that the gospel can be shared without words is false. Faith comes by HEARING God’s Word. Men are saved when they Amen God’s Word. Yes, kindness and exhibiting fruit of the Spirit attracts lost souls but hearing and receiving the Word of God saves their soul.

That’s remarkable!
when I hear Paulette Godard’s name, I can’t help but be reminded of an oft-old (back in the day) story about her and director Anatole Litvak going under the table at chi-chi restaurant Ciro’s, and...doing the deed...right behind the tablecloth, as luncheon service went on.
My son prefers to say - preach the gospel at all times AND use words - both words and actions are important to our witness
