GAC pays tribute to Kirkpatrick

Outgoing General Assembly Stated Clerk the Rev. Clifton Kirkpatrick peers into a gift bag presented by General Assembly Council (GAC) executive director Linda Valentine at a GAC meeting in Louisville on Wednesday (April 23). 

The council paid tribute to Kirkpatrick, who is attending his last GAC meeting as the PC(USA)’s highest-elected ecclesiastical officer. The council does not meet again before the denomination’s 218th General Assembly in San Jose, CA, in June. Kirkpatrick’s successor will be elected at that meeting.
