Outlook Foundation honors editor

Robert Bullock hailed for leadership and influence in the church

by Emily Enders Odom

DENVER, May 24  Robert H. Bullock Jr., editor of the Presbyterian Outlook
for the past 15 years, was greeted with a standing ovation Saturday evening
as he rose to accept the Presbyterian Outlook Foundations Trustees Award
during its annual General Assembly dinner.

Commending Bullock for his dedication as a preacher of the gospel, Richard
A. Ray, vice chairman of the foundation board, characterized the award as a
once-in-a-lifetime honor  one small way we have to recognize this mans
leadership and influence in the church over the past 15 years.

	Thomas W. Gillespie, president of Princeton Theological Seminary, was
honored with the Ernest Trice Thompson Award. Gillespie, also a professor of
the New Testament at Princeton, has announced that he will retire at the end
of June 2004. 

	Gillespie said he was deeply honored by the association with
Thompson, whom he called a wonderful professor and statesman of the PCUS.  

	To be associated with all the names in the program is quite frankly
unbelievable, he added.  

	In keeping with tradition, the annual event also gave commissioners
and other guests a chance to hear from the three candidates for moderator of
the Assembly in advance of the election later Saturday night. The Rev. Susan
R. Andrews, the only woman in the running (and the eventual winner), said the
dinner was a welcome opportunity to get the jitters out.

	The Rev. R. Jackson Sadler, the chairman of the foundations board,
presided at the event, introducing a number of distinguished guests,
including about a dozen former General Assembly moderators and a host of
Outlook staff and board members and General Assembly staff members.
