Here is something you don’t see everyday! The Deacon’s Bench posted this artical about a Kentucky Baptist Minister converting to Catholicism and becoming a priest -a married priest at that! How great is this!
David Harris never considered his conversion to Catholicism six years ago to be a rejection of the Baptist faith that nourished him from childhood in Eastern Kentucky.
But as a married man, Harris did think the switch meant he would leave one thing behind — his status as an ordained minister.
He was wrong.
Early next month, he’ll make history as the first married, former Baptist minister to become a Roman Catholic priest in the United States.
He’ll also be only the second married man from any former denomination to become a priest in the Archdiocese of Louisville.
Harris, 53, is scheduled to be ordained Sept. 6 at the Cathedral of the Assumption
