New and Noteworthy: Rev. Bill Golderer to Serve on Presbytery Delegation to the Middle East
On May 6-14, our Pastor, Bill Golderer will join an official delegation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to visit with global ecumenical partners in Lebanon and Egypt. This delegation will express the prayerful solidarity of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) during a time of deep tension in that region that has resulted in the bombings of churches in Aleppo, Syria and strained relationships between Christian and Muslim neighbors in both countries.
Bringing a message of Christian solidarity, the delegation will:
• Meet with Christian leaders of the region to offer support and encouragement as they engage their neighbors.
• Seek a personal audience with the newly elected leader of the Orthodox Coptic Church, His Eminence Pope Tawadros II. In Egypt, both the historic Orthodox Coptic Church and the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Egypt Synod of the Nile seek to continue faithful Gospel witness in a post-Mubarak regime.
For more information on Pope Tawadros II and Egypt’s Orthodox Coptic Church click here.
We send Bill with prayers for safe travels, for fruitful conversation, for words of wisdom, and for eyes to see the Spirit at work in the churches of Lebanon and Egypt.
