Friends:

I met yesterday with Rev. Jim Somerville, the new Vice Chairman of the Board, for a cordial conversation about many things related to the Consortium. Of course, we drank coffee at a little coffee shop near First Baptist Church.

Jim is the originator of this blog--that is, it was his idea, and a good one.
And he knows about my love for coffee--so he came up with the name.

Toward the end of our conversation, we agreed that our ministry is in the hands of the Holy Spirit. We "turn the Consortium and all we do over" to the Spirit.

Peace,
John
