Freda Gardner, Moderator of the 211th General Assembly in 1999 and the first woman full-time faculty member at Princeton Theological Seminary, was memorialized Saturday during a Service of Witness to the Resurrection at First Presbyterian Church in Albany, New York.
A moving force in the United Presbyterian Church died last week. The Rev. Robert Lamar, a retired pastor, served as Moderator of the 186th General Assembly in 1974.
