The GAMC is the mission branch of the PC(USA).
In her introduction of Valentine, GAMC chairperson Carol Adcock said that “Linda, in the past four years, has worked tirelessly … I urge you to elect her.” And the moderator, Cynthia Bolbach, said, “all in favor, please say ‘amen.” To which the over seven hundred Presbyterians replied, “Amen!”
Valentine then thanked the many who made her first four years a success, saying that it has been a joy to serve the church.
