Friday Live: Jerry Greene interviews Father John Gini

Description

A KOTO Radio show, called Friday Live, that aired on August 28, 1981. Father John Gini is interviewed by Jerry Greene. Father John describes his childhood, mentioning that he grew-up in a religious family and that he has always wanted to be a priest. He is from Salt Lake City and graduated high school in 1954. Father John and Jerry also discuss Father John's beliefs on evolution and religion. Father John was known to not be too structured in his ways of operation, so this is why he was sent to run St. Patrick's church in Telluride, Colorado. While Father John majored in Philosophy, with a minor in Psychology, he enjoys being with people more than discussing Philosophy. He believes this background has helped him to council members of his church and he believes that Telluride is a friendly community.
