First Black Presbyter

Today the Council ratified its first black presbyter. Sullivan McGraw was elected presbyter of the Capital MD section.


Dr. Rhoden (who preached a sermon called "Go Fly a Kite") presented the super.-elect Larry Hickey, with a kite with veggie tale characters Bob the tomato and Larry the Cucumber. Larry then ran down the aisle and the kite took flight. (very rousing display of levity and solidarity)

"Dr. Rhoden presented the ... kite ... Larry ran down the aisle and the kite took flight."
I guess that's a new twist on passing the torch or baton.

Sounds like a good Council and a positive future.
