I just joined your group basically to see if I still knew anyone from Upstate NY. I don't know if I you remember me, but I was a Youth Director for a couple of years at Holy Trinity in Jamestown with Pastor Paul Settergren.
I was a parish pastor for 6 years at Hope Lutheran in Fargo, and the 7 years at Good Shepherd in Moorhead, MN, and have been a chaplain with Hospice of the Red River Valley for about 3 years. My wife, Mary, is a Presbyterian Pastor in Fargo, and we have two children, David and Sarah.
I look fondly at my time in upstate NY, and felt that my time spend with pastors in the area really helped to prepare me for seminary at Luther.
My prayers are with you in your ministry as Bishop!
I think you may get an e-mail whenever someone comments on your page--but anyone can do that, not just your friends, and you can ignore the e-mails (or maybe turn them off) if you are short on time.
When you log in, your list of friends will give you a way to quickly see what your various friends are doing and chatting about. And it lets other people see who you know and consider your friends--helping to place people in their social contexts.
We can talk more about this in the future if you like!
Peace,
Katie
