As I’ve known, watched, and learned from Mildred for 40 years, one thing that she taught me was the way that she lived out her service to Christ’s church is how ruling elders can serve as educators.
제 친구 밀드레드는 2020년 7월 5일에 그녀의 100번째 생일을 축하했습니다. 평생 장로교인이었던 밀드레드는 인디애나의 그녀의 교회에서 여러 차례 당회원으로 섬겼습니다. 미국장로교의 모든 단계에서 적극적으로 활동한 밀드레드의 첫사랑은 언제나 그녀의 지역 교회였으며, 직원으로 섬긴 몇 년의 시간이 여기에 포함됩니다. 40년간 밀드레드를 알고 지켜보고 배운 바에 의하면, 그녀가 내게 가르쳐준 한 가지는 그녀가 그리스도의 교회를 섬기며 살아온 방법은 시무장로가 교육자로서 섬기는 방법이라는 점입니다.
