For those of you here in Richmond, you know that one of our community went missing last weekend. On Monday, she was found, a drowning victim in the James River. Her husband is a PhD student here at Union and was one of my TA's for Old Testament. He's a really nice, mild-mannered man and his wife Rosa was incredibly sweet. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to a group that helps the street children of Lima, Peru, a ministry she was passionate about.
But in every week of bad news and tragedy, there is a celebration of good news and life. Today, for the first time at Union-PSCE, a wedding was held during a Chapel Service. Our Chaplain, Edna Banes gave a meditation, and Sygman Rhee presided over the vows. My polity professor, Dr Ken McFadden was married to my friend and coworker, PhD student, Narola. I didn't realize it was happening until today, but it was open to the community. It was also a neat multi-cultural experience as Dr Rhee is a defector from North Korea originally and Narola wore her traditionally styled Indian white dress and wrap. Ken even more a traditional sash over his shoulder with his suit. The best man is another man i worked with, Mungistu, from West Africa.
