Dear Friends:
You may recall that tragic summer when we lost three young adults in three days in West LA.
Many of you were there when Baby Jordan was baptized at Palms Westminster.
Jordan's Mom, Dana Canedy has written a book about Jordan's father, Charles, who wrote a journal for his son while he served in Iraq.
Charles was killed by an IED in Iraq just a few months after we baptized his son.
In the book, A Journal for Jordan, pp 161-165, Dana reflects on the baptism and the ministry of reconciliation that took place that Sunday.
Indeed, Baby Jordan was a blessing to Anna and Julio's family in the midst of their grief.
Let us pray that the baptismal font continues to bring peace, healing and reconciliation for our brothers and sisters in Los Angeles and around the world.

About Me
- Howard
- Im a Mainline protestant minister who loves serving in multicultural and urban contexts. I'm very interested in how liberation theology and existential-humanistic psychology are applied to the praxis of pastoral care and counseling. My most profound encounters with God come as we sojourn as brothers and sisters seeking the inbreaking of God's reign, here and now.
