"AN ANNIVERSARY, A WESLEY, A BISHOP, A BAND .............. A GOOD TIME HAD BY ALL!"

      The Annual Meeting with John Wesley and the Summer Strummers was this week's main event.  The presence of Bishop William Boyd Grove (WV) as the chaplain for the week brought a warm, caring feeling to the House.  His leadership was evident in the way he tackled the controversial subject of homosexuality within the church;  no shouting, just conversation (how comforting).
