Tyler Ward, Synod representative on the National Presbyterian
Youth Council, spoke to the commissioners.
He is an elder at the Whitesburg,
Kentucky, Presbyterian Church and a student at Centre College.
New Synod Moderator Don Padget, at right, and
First Church Oxford member Homer Burkett ponder
the things in the Presbyterian Church that have
changed and other things that have not changed.
Their conversation took place in front of the building
that has stood on this spot since 1881. The church
was founded in 1837.
The 22nd annual meeting of the
Synod of Living Waters was
held at historic
First Presbyterian Church in
Oxford, Mississippi. The best
in southern hospitality was offered,
including a gourmet dinner
provided at cost by the owner
of the 208 South Lamar
