A new pastor in town!

The American Baptist powers-that-be in the Chicago region have, after due consideration, given their official (and unanimous!) "okey-dokey" to Tripp's ordination.

I'm not entirely sure that these fine people are really aware of what they've agreed to... but I've got a pretty clear picture, and I couldn't be more thrilled.

God's blessings and all good things as you step into this next adventure, my beloved brother.
