Nan C at GC43 Day 4


This is the "Painted Pew", painted at the Festival of Faith and brought into the meeting space this evening. It is a pew as old as the United Church (93 years) and we were encouraged to sit down on it for awhile as we had evening worship. Tonight we had a Sunset Service for the Conferences and Presbyteries, as we move to a new governance structure ratified by remits and this GC. It was a Celtic Service of Anointing Prayer in which commissioners were anointed by Conference Presidents and Executive Secretaries.
Maritime Conference Presidents at this General Council: Catherine Stuart, Catherine MacDonald, Gloria Churchill, Ross Bartlett, Ivan Gregan
