GALEN GUENGERICH
Galen's proposal for his doctoral dissertation has been accepted and an initial draft has been completed. He says that he plans to examine certain aspects of the works of John Rawls, Paul Tillich and Alfred North Whitehead in proposing his theory of justice in terms of modern situations of pluralism.

JAN CARLSSON-BULL
Jan spends most of her time supervising programs within the church doors, training seminarians, counselling and preaching (her Blessing of the Animals service this Fall was a great success). Outside the church, she continues to be active on a number of UUA and New York Metro District committees, including the UU Commission on Social Witness, the New York Metro District Program Committee for the Ministers Association, the Planning Committee of the Metro District for the District UUA Annual Meeting and as a Board Member of the UU Trauma Response Ministry.
