Evangelism in Northeast Pennsylvania and the world. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Another video from King of Peace Episcopal Church. Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Ideas that spread win. The Gospel spread like wildfire in the first few centuries of the church because.it was new.and because it was an idea that spread.and because it did not speak to the core of the society of the day but because it spoke the fringes that were truly interested. Perhaps the Reformation spread the same way? Ideas that spread, win.
