We know that Jesus was the equal to any politician, hierarch, elite of his time.  We also know that He spent most of his time with the ordinary and those who were considered the discards. So it would seem that the faith and understanding he taught was understandable, "tangible" to the ordinary person. AND HE CONNECTED. Does this author, a Bishop, a hierarch "connect"?  Would he be the kind of pastor who would at least "tempt" contemporary young people to follow, to come, to return?
