The national board of That All May Freely Serve has named Lisa Larges to the position of Minister-Coordinator. The action was taken in anticipation of the August 2007 retirement of the Rev. Dr. Jane Spahr, who has served as the founding minister-director of TAMFS,
Larges, who has been the TAMFS regional partnership coordinator since 2002, will be TAMFS’ staff person and located in Rochester, N.Y.
“Lisa is the right person for us at this time,” said Mary Rees, co-moderator of the TAMFS board, “As we work toward the removal of G-6.0106B at the 218th General Assembly in 2008, continue our work to nurture the leadership of youth and seminarians, provide spiritual care for Presbyterians who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, and strengthen our witness for creating a church that welcomes ALL persons, Lisa’s gifts, skills, and connection with our regions and the broader church will be invaluable in helping us reach these goals.”
