Pastor Miller arrived in the
United
States
quite suddenly in September when
his brother Clyde
lost his wife to skin
cancer. (Indeed, the trip was so
sudden that Pastor Miller couldn’t find his passport and had to go to
Barbados
to get a new one). On the day of
his sister-in-law’s funeral, Pastor Miller fell ill.
He then spent several uncomfortable days healing and getting further
medical diagnoses. His stay ended
up being far longer than anticipated.
When asked what he would always
remember from his fourth visit to the
United
States, the Pastor did not hesitate:
“This I will take back with me:
In an organizational sense, I will not forget (the Reformed Episcopal Church's Northeast and Mid-Atlantic’s
123rd Diocesan) Council, and how it was done.
Different people were responsible for the reports, and they were
submitted to the Secretary and the Bishop.
You could ask a question, and everything was right there in front of
you.”
“The (Philadelphia Area Sunday School Association) convention was also
very good. The planning was
excellent, and involving people, other than the teachers, on planning a
curriculum, knowing what a curriculum is all about was a great idea.
Back home, Caribbean Baptist Fellowship provides excellent material for
the Caribbean,
like PASSA.”
