South Carolina Conference Communications

Read about the Rev. Lara Byrd, a member of the South Carolina Conference, in the September-October issue of Interpreter, the official ministry magazine for the people of The United Methodist Church. Byrd, associate pastor at Carteret Street United Methodist Church in Beaufort, is included in a story about young clergy. An expanded story of her call will be posted later in the month. Byrd is included in one of several features on developing new leaders. Read the story on-line at http://www.interpretermagazine.org/interior.asp?ptid=43&mid=13733. Read other stories about the need for developing new leaders for the church and about laity who are providing “principled Christian leadership” in the world and their workplaces.

Read, too, Dr. Bill Frist’s perspective on providing health care as a way of making peace, how fair-trade purchases improve life for producers and ideas for Laity Sunday and supporting laity throughout the year. As always, enjoy reading the popular "It Worked for Us" and "IdeaMart" departments as well as "Lighter Fare.".
