D. Involvements in Mennonite Church, including presentation on various
topics of concern to the church through the years. Also includes
his time a team minister at East Goshen Mennonite Church, and as
teacher of the Adult Sunday School class at East Goshen Mennonite
Church, etc.
It may be hard to separate Charles’ focus on books
of the Bible, and his involvement in the church, since I expect that
his contribution lay in interpreting the Bible for the church.
However, I have made this separation with the files identified as
“social issues”, etc.
