This week I’ve been participating from afar. I arrive tomorrow. Peace. I’ll be a guest helping conference communications for Rocky Mountain.
Mary Spradlin, from the Central Texas is a Reserve Clergy Delegate.
Thank you for this list.

Google “presbyterian outlook bulletin insert general assembly” for details; Jeremy’s spam filter appears to have choked on the actual link.
