Correction: In the April issue of the Recorder, Berit von Pohle was listed as director of education for the Pacific Union Conference. Elder von Pohle is vice president for education for the Pacific Union Conference. We apologize for the mistake. Correction: The article on Pastor Damon Washington in the April issue incorrectly stated that he had no religious background prior to joining the Seventh-day Adventist church. Washington grew up in the Christian Science church.
