 | | Recently, our conversation turned to clergy abuse and Jim fixed an intent gaze and exhorted, "It is never, never, never alright for clergy to take advantage of a parishoner!" His passion of justice, his commitment to integrity, and his caring for all of us was clear - it was vintage Jim Crawford. |
 | | Jim’s wonderful, recurring phrases, oft repeated in sermons, prayers and remarks, urging us to be "agents of reconciliation," "returning no one evil for evil," and "Oh, my soul!" - each of these a sermon unto itself. |
 | | Jim’s rich, velvety voice the most....the way he can shift an entire sermon by asking a leading question, waiting, then bending close to the mike and almost purring in that deep radio voice of his: "Not...on...your...life.". |
