Although he likes to say that he is just a parish priest, there is more to Fr. Clyde Martin Harvey than just saying prayers, heaven and hell. Father Clyde Martin Harvey is a tall, stately man who is compassionate and humble.

He comes down from the altar with a practical approach, serving God and his people.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
