The Queen and I are back home safely from our two conferences in Greenville, S.C. I am still amazed at the surprise gift I was privileged to unveil at Faith Free Presbyterian Church last Saturday—a stunning sculpture of William Perkins, known as “the father of the Puritans,” beautifully done by Jodi Barnes—many, many thanks to her!
I am wondering if some kind soul who might happen to be driving from Greenville, S.C. to Grand Rapids, MI in the next few months, might be willing to take Mr. Perkins with him/her and bring him to our William Perkins Library at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary where he will find a very good home in the Puritan Resource Center! The sculpture is not heavy; it is perhaps 2 feet high and just over 1 foot wide, but we don’t dare send him in the mail or by UPS. We will wrap up Mr. Perkins carefully and place him temporarily inside of a box for you. All you need to do is drive carefully and let him ride with you. He will not disturb you along the way; in fact, he won’t say a word to you. Be assured that we would be most grateful and also be happy to remunerate you a reasonable amount for letting Mr. Perkins ride with you!
