Your work at the Convention is so very important, requiring faith, patience and strength. Please know that, as the difficult questions are brought forward, your courage, wisdom and compassion is greatly appreciated by many of us who are following your activity from afar. May you also find a voice, as needed, to speak out on behalf the elderly, the children, the less fortunate, and all who are oppressed. It does take courage to speak out for those who cannot defend themselves - and it must be done. Thank you, Steve & Gretchen, for using technology to help keep us all informed of current happenings at the Convention. Sincerely Yours, Pamela VanWechel St Andrew's & St John's @ Southwest Harbor Co-Chair, Committee on Indian Relations Greetings & Best Wishes to Bishop Lane & Delegates,
