Several months ago, I wrote a First Things essay on the life and ministry of Pastor Tom Clark of Tri-City Covenant Church in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Tom died shortly after that essay appeared, but during his last days we were able to spend a couple of days listening to Tom's stories about his ministry and the dramatic ways God used his sickness to edify the church. With this video , filmed and edited by Christian Leithart, we try to record some of the passion and wisdom of this faithful pastor.
