Sad news was hearing that Kathleen Miller, who came to the Wider Church Ministries board last November as the representative from the Kansas-Oklahoma Conference, died on August 2. She was just 54. Bob Molsberry, Steve Ito and I had the privilege of getting to know her and rejoice in having another strong disability ally on the board.
Kathleen grew up in Michigan; she had contracted polio at a young age. At the time of her death, Kathleen was working for the Dept. of Commerce in Oklahoma, but she had spent years working in the disability field and was part of the group that met in Singapore back in the 1970’s to form Disabled Peoples International. We will miss her elegant, fun, astute presence at WCM. - Carolyn Thompson, UCC DM Board Member and Representative to WCM
