In the year 1870, the Methodists in Indiana were having their annual conference. At one point, the president of the college where they were meeting said, “I think we live in a very exciting age.” The residing bishop said, “What do you see?”; the college president responded, “I believe we are coming into a time of great inventions. I believe, for example, that men will fly through the air like birds.”
The bishop said, “This is heresy! The Bible says that flight is reserved for the angels. We will have no such talk here.”
After the conference, the bishop, whose name was Wright, went home to his two small sons, Wilbur and Orville. And you know what they did to their father’s vision!
