President of Fuller Seminary on Prayer to Saints

The President of Fuller Theological Seminary, Richard J. Mouw, wrote this interesting piece on the Catholic practice of prayers to saints. Dr. Mouw explains how he has warmed up to the practice, though he has yet to initiate “actual conversations with people who have halos around their heads.” Dr. Mouw hasn’t bought a Rosary yet, but he has placed a statue of St. Francis in his yard, “near the bird feeder.” A guess that’s a good sign.
