A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friends,

     At the recent Congress of the IPCNSR in Ghana, I was elected as the new president.  I hope that I can guide the IPCNSR as well as Adriana Cavina, our past president, has during recent years.  Within the next few weeks I will be sending you a complete list of the new officers, and will let you know more about the structure and life of the IPCNSR.

     Discussions are currently underway with regard to future programming.  When these plans are settled I will be in contact regarding future events.  We are exploring possibilities for this website, which include posting lectures and summaries of discussions from our various meetings.

     The Congress and the preceding event, a conference of the SIPCC (Society for Intercultural Pastoral Care and Counseling) and the IPCNSR, were very successful.  The conference was attended by, at various times, up to 20 persons.   The business meeting of the Network, during the Congress, was attended by approximately 50 persons.

     If this is the first you have heard of the organization, please be aware that I have gathered various e-mail addresses from different sources.  If you do not want to receive information about the Network, or would like more information about the organization, please let me know.

     Thank you for your interest in the Network.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at:  theology@uol.com.br

     I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for your support of the Network.


Peace,

Dr. James Farris
