This week, a Roanoke College senior was mildly flummoxed to find definitively that RC Light, the weekly college chapel service that he\u2019d heard of for years, was not a light beer named after the school.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was at Quickway, buying some malt liquor on my dad\u2019s credit card, and I asked the clerk if they had any RC Light in stock. I\u2019d been hearing about it for a while, and I figured, you know, it\u2019s my senior year, I oughta see if I can track down a can of it,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s when another student, one heavily involved in campus faith-life, came to the young man\u2019s aid.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was standing behind him in line, buying wine for my Episcopalian friend, when I heard him ask about RC Light,\u201d she said. \u201cI was happy to set him straight and extend an invitation to our service.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The young man was initially confused, but eventually responded with a laugh and shrugged shoulders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMan, I actually had no idea there was a church here. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll take her up on her offer anytime soon, but in twenty-five or thirty years when I become acutely aware of my mortality, upon which the shadows of my insufficiencies and failures will surely dance, I might check it out. \u2018Till then, I\u2019ll stick with the malt liquor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
