The Professor, Rabbi and Preacher Who Confronted the Elephants in the Room!

  We were known and often introduced as the Professor, Rabbi, and Preacher .  Ike Tennison  was the Professor,  Jeffrey Leynor  was the Rabbi, and I ( Jim Myers ) was the Preacher. Everyone knows that when a professor, a rabbi, and a preacher -- two Christians and one Jew -- are sitting at the table discussing Jewish and Christian Scriptures --  there are some very big elephants in the room .

A Kingdom Above All Nations!
