The Lectionary Lab

Snippets, thoughts, illustrations and the occasional sermon for texts of Scripture as arranged in the Revised Common Lectionary. Brought to you by The Rev'ds Dr. John Fairless and Dr. Delmer Chilton (aka "Two Bubbas and a Bible).

Who Are the Bubbas?

The Rev. Dr. Delmer L. Chilton is Assistant to the Bishop in the Southeastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. With more than 30 years of experience as a parish pastor, Delmer has a great appreciation for those whose task it is to do the work of preaching week in and week out. The Rev. Dr. John Fairless is Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church in Gainesville, Florida. Ordained in 1984, John’s passion is for theological thinking in both the pulpit and the pews. Both Bubbas have written for various denominational publications, as well as for the ecumenical preaching resource, Homily Service. Admittedly, they also share a propensity for the slightly warped sense of humor. “Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.” — Mark Twain
