SOUL SISTERS

On April’s Spotlight, “A Sisterhood of Faith,” featuring an affectionate gathering of 10 ordained women

What an honor it is to serve in the Presbytery of South Alabama with so many gifted women who lead us in ministry! It’s quite fitting that this article comes out just as we are preparing to celebrate Easter. Remember, the first human voices to proclaim the good news of the resurrection were those of women preachers!

- Buz Wilcoxon

I love this article! - Kathy Brinson Rogister

So proud to be a part of Government Street Presbyterian Church and to get to work with incredible leaders across our community — women who lead with love and generosity. Rebekah Abel Lamar, Alexandra Stewart Hutson, Anna Fulmer Duke, Pam Hanes and so many more. - Casi Callaway

A really great article about women in ministry. - Linda Madsen

BRING THE BLING WORTH THEIR SALT

On April’s Ask McGehee, exploring pop culture connections to the Port City

I watched “The Gilded Age” on HBO and never dreamed it had a connection to my hometown. Interesting article. - Liska Wheeler Forsyth On April’s Tastings, featuring West Food Bar

In 20 years, I’ve sent maybe one of these comments, this being the second. The first was to a NYTimes sports writer, funny enough. The review is terrific and Hallie King is an excellent writer.

For example, this sentence:

“… recognized his hunger and the scope of his vision from the beginning, encouraging him to fully embrace the metamorphosis before reopening the building.”

Understated and perfect within the article. Anyway, kudos to your writer. Outstanding work and a pleasure to read. - Jason Adam van Beeme

KNOCK ON WOOD

On April’s feature, “Deep Roots,” about repurposed Bienville Square oaks

I have many great memories of being in Bienville Square with my grandaddy — feeding pigeons and squirrels while my parents shopped in the stores surrounding the square. - Mary Weatherford Patchel

EAGER BEAVER

On April’s Endpiece, Class of 1921
