Dr. Ted Taylor: Brave Hearts
2009-11-14 - Columbia Walmart - Photo by Ed Waggener. In a week filled with moments, one of the most memorable was the Veterans Day address by Dr. Ted Taylor, delivered outside on a chilly November 11, 2009. Dr. Taylor chose as his theme "Bravehearts," recalling the Biblical origins of the word as well as the popularization of the term in the movies about William Wallace of Scotland, interwoven with stories of his father, who flew on B-27 missions in World War II. A mesmerizing speaker, the pastor of the Columbia Baptist Church held the audience spellbound, with the only sound heard, besides his, were from the occasional burst of wind and passing trucks on the LBN. Dr. Taylor will be the main speaker at Campbellsville University's Thanksgiving service on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 9amCT/10amET, at Ransdell Chapel, 401 N. Hoskins AV, Campbellsville, KY.
