Chaplain of Bourbon Street Brings Hope to Rough Rhythm
Baptist preacher Bob Harrington known as the Chaplain of Bourbon Street works among jazz clubs in New Orleans. He hands out miniature Bibles between shows and helps dancers and drug users, saying the prodigal son story guides his mission to improve the man not just the environment. He recalls aiding a heroin user in a doorway and risking hecklers who once poured beer on him.
