Pilgrim Congregational Church (UCC) opened their doors to host a Welcoming Churches Worship planned (and carried out) by leadership from TAMFS and MLP. It was a marvelous service, full of enthusiastic singing, wildly inclusive welcome and message, communion, and an opportunity for individual prayer and anointing by the chaplains of the two organizations. One of these, Beth Wheeler was one of the overture advocates and a wonderful human being. Actually all of the group were quite extraordinary individuals.

Our presentation will be available in the future. Stephen is still working on a final text that reflects all the changes that individual speakers made between the final written draft and what was actually spoken before the committee. Several people ended up making substantial changes on their copies which they marked up. It may be impossible to capture all the spontaneous changes that were made as people spoke as they departed the text.

A few of the pieces by Beth and Jay were changed so substantially that we were worried about the time limit, but we finished long before our 57 minutes had expired, we were about 50 minutes.
