Dr. Christine Roy Yoder, Associate Professor of Old Testament Language, Literature, and Exegesis at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, who will share a minute message and serve as a liturgist this morning. Morningside's connection and commitment to Columbia Seminary is both a strong part of our history and a vital part of our present mission and ministry.
