Photos from our first clergy gathering!

The first picture shows a smiling white woman with grey hair wearing a white visor, blue sweater, and blue-green scarf seated next to a smiling white man with blonde-brown hair wearing a grey suit jacket over a black priest's shirt and white clerical collar. They are both looking at the woman on the far right who has short strawberry blonde hair, thin-rimmed glasses, and is wearing a bright orange paisley scarf over a blue working jacket. They are all seated in front of shelves of books, as in a library. The second picture shows the other side of the table they are all seated around. In the foreground is a white man with dark brown, short-cut hair and a dark brown beard wearing thin glasses, a blue and green plaid button down shirt, and blue striped yarmulke. He is seated next to an older white man with white hair, thicker glasses, wearing a black shirt. They are both facing right and smiling at another man who is bald and has medium-tone skin, a light white beard, and is wearing a grey-blue shirt. He is smiling as though in the middle of a laugh. They all have paper and drinks in front of them, and are seated in front of bookselves.
