The Rev. Gene Ross, co-minister of the Central Pacific Conference of the United Church of Christ, has been on the campus of Eden Theological Seminary this weekend. The Central Pacific Conference is the conference that I belong to and Gene and his wife, The Rev. Dr. Pat Ross, are longtime friends. They are also the parents of my longtime friend Jon Ross. Gene is in town for a conference and took Liz and I out for lunch today. We had a great time and very much enjoyed having someone else from Oregon around to visit with.
