It is an honor to be asked to speak any where. Clergy are asked to speak at sacred moments in peoples' lives and for that it is rather humbling.
Clergy are supposed to be communicators at heart and so to be asked to speak is not uncommon in the life of a clergy person.
It is something else to be asked to come and speak to other clergy (or your peers of any profession I would imagine).
Still humbling, but a bit more scary. Why I am included in this line up I have no idea, but you can be sure I will be the most uncool person speaker. (Plus I might not be the most 'inked' person either,)
*UPDATE* It has been brought to my attention that I am not the only one who is responsible for this opportunity. There are a number of excellent, hard working, creative, and articulate people who worked hard on the Fort Worth Dish Out who could just as easily speak but are unable to take off from work to do so. While this update is a bit too late in the "blogosphere", it is never too late to remedy a situation.
