What a brunch bunch! Two former presidents of the Alliance, a veteran missions educator, a friend from campus ministry days and the current pastor of Annie Armstrong’s (missions pioneer) in Baltimore! An interesting meal and a lively conversation was enjoyed by all at Miss Shirley’s—including Mary Andreolli who took the photo! I enjoyed the “Southern Slammer” which John Roberts immediately noted an appropriate selection for a leader of the Alliance!
