                  Clarifications and Corrections 
 
     A story in the Feb. 7 issue of "NEWS BRIEFS" about AIDS ministries 
(#97029) incorrectly identified a number of resources as produced by the 
Presbyterian AIDS Network.  Several of the resources listed are produced by 
the Office of Health Ministries in the National Ministries Division in 
Louisville.  For more information, call the Rev. David Zuverink at (502) 
569-5793.

     A story in the Feb. 7 issue of "NEWS BRIEFS" about John Park Lee Award 
winner John R.  Thomas (#97048) incorrectly stated that he has worked as a 
college chaplain. 
     Thomas also stated during his acceptance speech that "one-third of all 
Medicare medical expenses are incurred by people during the last six months 
of their lives," not "two-thirds of all medical expenses. ..."

     A story in the Jan. 31 issue of "NEWS BRIEFS" about the Presbyterian 
Health, Education and Welfare Association (PHEWA) biennial conference 
(#97035) reported that a motion was made to refer the "1997 Declaration of 
Reformed Faith" to the PHEWA board of directors, but failed to report that 
the motion to refer was adopted. 
     The story also correctly reported that a resolution that was amended 
to read "... encourage the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to promote 
abstinence from alcoholic beverages as one response to the problem of 
alcoholism" was approved, but failed to report that the resolution was then 
referred to the Presbyterian Network on Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse for 
implementation. 
     There are also several corrections to the list of officers reported. 
The Rev. John Sharick and Jeanne Torrens are continuing members of the 
PHEWA board of directors, not new members.  Ann Sayre and Gail Buchwalter 
King left the board and so vacancies exist from the synods of South 
Atlantic and Trinity.  Three PHEWA constituent networks have new 
representatives on the board: Presbyterians Affirming Reproductive Options: 
the Rev. Don Coleman; Presbyterian Child Abuse Network: the Rev.  Cindy 
Cushman; and Presbyterian Health Network: the Rev. David Cockcroft.
