That said it all, I love Elmo Jenkins, and I'm happy to add him to the list if my beloved characters. I love his innocence, his enthusiasm, his energy, his honesty, his sense of humor, his idealism mixed with just enough skepticism to keep him healthy, and his unjaded youth. In fact, it's hard to picture a jaded Elmo. Young Elmo is an intern from a seminary, and he is getting work experience at First Church. It's actually the type of church that wouldn't appeal to me at all. A huge assembly line church whose administrators seem more concerned with attendance numbers and money, the place running like a well oiled machine rather than a place that really cares about the individual. But the individual pastors do seem to care, and Elmo is just the upbeat young guy to jump in and join them. On to the next Elmo Jenkins for me!
