	Outlook dinner is �test run� for moderator candidates

	By Eva Stimson

LONG BEACH, June 24--Close to 400 people got a preview of the four
candidates for moderator of the 212th General Assembly at a dinner sponsored
by the �Presbyterian Outlook� Saturday evening.  After drawing straws to
determine order, each candidate spoke for an allotted five minutes.

	�This is the 25th year that the �Outlook�  has sponsored some kind of event
featuring moderatorial candidates,� said Robert H.Bullock Jr., editor of the
independent weekly magazine, which carries news and commentary on the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).  He called the event �a kind of test run for
the candidates.�

	Bullock introduced a number of notable people present at this year�s
gathering, including heads of church agencies and a dozen former moderators.
 He also recognized �Outlook� board members, columnists and current and past
reporters for the magazine.

	Encouraging those present to visit the �Outlook�s� Web site
(pres-outlook.com), Bullock commented, �We�re trying to maintain a cutting
edge in providing news that Presbyterians need to know.�
