    JANUARY 2014 — MARCH 2014 No 1401 Climate Reality Whether it is severe storms such as Hurricane Sandy, extreme flooding, elevated global temperatures, expanding droughts, or melting ice and rising sea levels, climate change is having an increasingly adverse impact on our planet. SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury Branch Campus Dean, Dr. Steve Danna, has recently received training as a Climate Reality Leader through the Climate Reality Project and will present information about Climate Change's causes, problems, impacts, and solutions. This session is for those individuals concerned about our changing climate and interested in strategies to minimize climate change impacts for our generation and gen- erations to come. Dr. Stephen Danna has 25 years experience in teaching and administration, and prior to that, worked with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office as an oceanog- rapher. A middle school guest lecturer at a school assembly in Bay St. Louis, MS., led him to discover a hid- den passion for education. A year later, he was teaching physics and chemistry to high school students in Glens Falls, N.Y. Dr. Danna has received teaching fellowships from Princeton University, University of Wis- consin-Madison, and Drew University, and was honored in 1997 with the National Science Teachers Asso- ciation’s Exemplary High School Science Teaching Award. He maintains an active blog on education and leadership topics (http://racetothetopdannas.wordpress.com), and has published papers with the National Staff Development Council, National Science Teachers Program Association, Journal of School Leadership, and Phi Delta Kappan. In Dr. Danna’s words, “I am deeply passionate about climate change.

  • Bishop Mary Virginia Taylor 2 Holston Annual Conference
    Conference Organization 1 Bishop Mary Virginia Taylor 2 Holston Annual Conference WELCOME TO THE 2017 SESSION OF THE HOLSTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE Behold! The doors before us are many. Invitations to new ministry opportunities, challenges to see and love our neighbors more fully, moments of self-assessment as we seek to follow God’s calling into the future—all of these doors stand before us as a conference, as a denomination, as congregations, and as individual followers of Jesus Christ. Into these times of discernment and change come the wonderful promises of scripture: Behold, I stand at the door and knock - Revelation 3:20 Behold, I will do a new thing - Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I make all things new - Revelation 21:5 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go - Genesis 28:15 This year as we gather at Lake Junaluska for Annual Conference, we will consider the doors before us. We will also remember the promises of grace that sustain us. We will hear recommendations for our future and we will build on the faithful steps of the past. We will give thanks for those who have served faithfully and those who have entered God’s eternal presence. We will rejoice in those who are newly responding to God’s call and we will continue to share our time and offerings to love others in Jesus’ name. Behold! God is at work in our world and God is at work in Holston Conference. May God grant us the courage to step through the doors that enable us to be all that God would have us to be and do all that God would have us to do so that the world may behold the presence of God through us.
