We still await a date to be set for a service to celebrate the life of the Rt. Rev. John Clark Buchanan, who passed away on April 15 this year. In preparation for the service, we are collecting memories, stories, and anecdotes involving him and his time in West Missouri. It is our intention to share these with his family when we are finally able to meet in person.

Please send your stories to Gary Allman at: communications@diowestmo.org. Thank you for your help.
