Testimonials

In planning morning liturgies for the Deep Calls to Deep initial week-long Residency, Ellen Johnston created worship that was sensitive to the needs and emphases of our program. Our evaluations after the residency indicated how important daily worship was to the Preaching Fellows in nurturing their spirits and enlivening their bodies.

- The Rev. Leslie Chadwick, Program Coordinator for Deep Calls to Deep
