 Good morning, my brothers and sisters. I am the Reverend Terry Hoard Owens, and I'm honored to serve as the general minister and president for the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ in the United States and Canada. As a Christian minister, I'm here and we are here because we are informed by the teachings of Jesus to love God, to love your neighbor as yourself. And one of the epistles in the New Testament tells us that love is an action word. You can't just talk about it. You have to do it.
