In addition to Wil Brown the Native American Indian contingent included Duke D..., also a past ABC leader from Oklahoma, I believe, and Larry Spottedsomething from Silverdale (near Seattle). I hope they can get something going here in the urban Indian community.

The convention as a whole was upbeat. Dr. Medley preached twice. There was discussion of what we can do to prepare for the influx of Burmese refugees recently authorized by the Bush Administration, and of the initiatives Dr. Medley (together with both CBF and the AoB) to establish and nurture Baptist-Islamic dialogue here in the US (at the behest of the Baptist Seminary in Beirut).

No controversial decisions were made. Minutes and budget affirmed by consensus. A good time was had by all. I was pressed into choir service. Will post pics eventually. Off to church.
