[Faith-talk] Just introducing myself

[Paul]

Hello Erica and welcome to this list.  My name is Paul from Baltimore 
Maryland.  Are you perhaps a member of a local Outreach Center that the 
Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod sponsors through their Lutheran Blind 
Mission? If you have one in your community, that may be a place where you 
can minister and serve.  I was the first director of the center here in 
Baltimore, but resigned due to irreconcilable theological differences only. 
Anyway welcome to this list and I pray that, with the Holy Spirit's leading 
and guidance, plus the posts of other list members, that you can somehow 
find your niche in the body of Christ.  Your Christian friend and brother, 
Paul
