BRETHREN BITS
Nov. 4, 2005 -- Joseph Roy, a Church of the Brethren member from Wenatchee, Wash., was a presenter for the Church World Service Interfaith Trauma Response Training in Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 20-21. The training was hosted by Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. The Oct. 20 event was attended by mostly chaplains and clergy from the Pensacola and Destin, Fla., area. Among the 26 attending were several Navy chaplains. Most were dealing with the recovery by residents of last year's hurricane season, and the influx of evacuees from Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana. The 17 participants on Oct. 21 were mostly hospital staff and chaplains.
