    Notes about People

    Joan SalmonCampbell, former General Assembly moderator, has renounced 
the jurisdiction of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).  SalmonCampbell's 
renunciation of her Presbyterian ordination came after she started her own 
church in the neighborhood of the Presbyterian congregation, St. Marks, 
that she was serving in Cleveland, Ohio.  Several members of St. Marks have 
defected to join her new church, which she started without the consent of 
Western Reserve Presbytery.  The renunciation means that SalmonCampbell, 
who was General Assembly moderator in 1989, is no longer a Presbyterian 
minister.

attack Oct. 7 in Los Angeles.  Habib was in the United States for a series
