David Skaggs: “it is my personal privilege and honor to welcome this morning to the House of Representatives my pastor from Boulder…”

On the recordJuly 25, 1997
it is my personal privilege and honor to welcome this morning to the House of Representatives my pastor from Boulder, CO, the Reverend Bruce Mackenzie who just delivered the opening prayer. He is the senior minister at the First Congregational Church in Boulder. He is my pastor and my friend; he married me and my wife Laura some years ago. He has led our congregation in Boulder, CO now for 27 years and will be retiring from that post next month, leaving a grateful, if grieving, congregation. He certainly exemplifies the kind of inspirational leadership that we wish for in our religious as well as our civic life. His entire congregation shares in this honor this morning and wishes him well in his retirement. We have all been the beneficiaries of his caring and joyful leadership.
