ABCRGR Students @ UofR
Do you have a student from your congregation attending the University of Rochester this year, either as an undergraduate or a graduate student? If so, I would love it if you'd let me know their name, so that I can reach out to them. As the chaplain for the Protestant Chapel Community on campus, it would be my delight to connect with them and let them know about all that we have to offer as the mainline Protestant "church on campus." We've been at the U of R for over 50 years, as a ministry of Genesee Are Campus Ministries, of which the ABCRGR has been a strong supporter and partner for many years. You can reach me at
ltiberi@ur.rochester.edu.

We And They 
1 Corinthians 1:10-17
Annual Gathering 2015
The final stanza of the poem We and They, by Rudyard Kipling reads as follows:
All good people agree and all good people say,
All nice people, like Us, are We and every one else is They: But if you cross over the sea, Instead of over the way, You may end by (think of it!) looking on We
As only a sort of They!
