The Rev. Meggin King, President of Maritime Conference,
The United Church of Canada 2013-2014

So there I was… An introduction of sorts.

So there I was, minding my own business at a regular Presbytery meeting, over a year ago, when Fran Fiddes turned to me and said, "Why don't YOU run for Conference President?" Well, truth be told, I wasn't exactly minding my own business. As Chair of Truro Presbytery...
