My good friend Derek Thomas and I (photo 1) were privileged to be the speakers last Friday and Saturday for the “Reformation Boise 2022” conference in Boise, Idaho. We each gave two addresses and shared a Q&A session (photo 2) for this encouraging and growing annual conference which now gets 500 attendees (photo 3). Derek spoke on the church’s communion and on her status and care, and I spoke on the church’s attributes and on her needed reformation today.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with one of the conference’s primary organizers, Pastor Russell Herman and his wife Laura (I had the privilege of officiating their wedding 28 years ago and Russell is a PRTS graduate who has served the Cloverdale United Reformed Church in Boise since 2014) together with Laura’s parents, Dr. Cornie and Ardith Bleeker, who I pastored back in the 1970s and have been good friends with ever since (photo 4).
