Introducing Beeson Pastor Class #17

Beeson Class
Spent today getting ahead on some of my writing, so I've got a little time to introduce you to the rest of the class. Clockwise to my right are:

Steve Dunmire – Wesleyan pastor from near Buffalo, New York. We share an interest in hockey and he was impressed that I knew the proper way to pronounce "Gilbert Perreault."

Jane Riecke – A friend and colleague from the Rocky Mountain Conference, serving in Loveland, CO.

Sabrina Tu – Sabrina serves two churches in the Florida Conference and is a fantastic cook, specializing in her native Vietnamese.

Antoni Sinkfield – Antoni is one of my roommates and my workout partner every morning at 6:30. He pastors St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church in inner city Nashville. He was a football star at Tenessee Tech and his son is Barack Obama's religious affairs advisor.

John Whitsett – A Nazarene pastor serving in Oklahoma and a Mac expert.

Chris Howlett – my other roomie who lives just ten miles up the road in Lexington where he pastors Christ Church (United Methodist). We discovered that we were both student pastors here at Asbury in the early 90s.

Alice Wolfe – serves a United Methodist church just north of Dayton, OH. She was an agronomist before entering the ministry (that has to do with soils, in case you didn't know…which I didn't!)

Diane Bell – Diane is a fellow Utahn who serves Community UMC in Ogden.

That's our team! It's quiet here this weekend as there are no classes, the library's closed, and Wilmore is still just awaking as Asbury College students trickle back into town. Enjoy your Sunday!
