During the Until We Meet Again Tour‘s visit to the United Nations with Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Elisabeth Lee, I had the opportunity to see my favorite exhibit.

The Until We Meet Again Tour took an unexpected, and delightful turn today. Before they came to New York, Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Elisabeth Lee had looked into the possibility of a tour of the United Nations. None were available.
On the spur of the moment, we checked after lunch and discovered a new tour had been added and tickets were available. We went.
UN tours have been a staple of the seminars I have organized for the Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations since October 2010. Almost every seminar takes a tour. I have gone on more than I can remember.
Today’s tour may well be the last for some time to come.
See you along the Trail.

The Until We Meet Again Tour took a hiatus for the 222nd General Assembly (2016) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

The Until We Meet Again Tour took a short, about .4 of a mile, walk today to Church of the Master. As noted earlier, my intention had been not to accept invitations to preach during the tour. However, invitations began to arrive from congregations that mean a great deal to me and it became impossible to say no. Once again I am delighted I agreed to preach. It was a tender, precious moment filled with sorrow and joy. The experience crystallized a reality that has been emerging for me – I will miss the people of New York even more than I will miss the places of New York.

The Until We Meet Again Tour hopped the 7 Train and rode out to CitiField. Don Jang joined me. There the Pirates beat the Mets. This marked the fourth time the Pirates beat the Mets when I attended the game. I think they should hire me.
