addition, the proposal to fund a Seminarian Internship Program was approved. The consistory would like to thank the members for the spirit of unity at the meeting and support of the consistory initiatives. We ask for your continued prayer as we now await the work of FRC committees and synod in this process. This will consist of Dr. David Murray meeting with the FRC Inter Church Relations Committee on March 22 and then FRC synod on June 3-6. The results of those meetings will give us our next steps in the process of calling Dr. Murray. May the Lord give us the posture of Psalm 123:1-2.
