From the front page of the local paper (II): Another local soldier killed

Posted on October 1, 2008 by Kendall Harmon

A Wando High School graduate has been killed in Afghanistan, the second local soldier to die in just over a week.

Richie Cliff, 29, had served in the Army since 2002, and had previously completed a year-long tour of duty in Iraq.

The staff at Wando, where Cliff’s mother taught biology for more than 30 years, heard the news Tuesday morning.

“He was a student leader, an outstanding, fine young man,” recalled Principal Lucy Beckham. “He was very patriotic and we are very proud of him and what he was willing to do.”

    “This is not rocket science,” just more of we have the save the world – ecology w/o the Great Commission.

    “Some among us do still remember that early Christians called following Jesus the way.”
    In all due respect PB, real Christians still do. He is the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Jesus. (John 14:6)

    Pastoral Care? Real pastoral care prioritizes the world being reconciled with Christ and one another.
    PB why don’t you extend some pastoral care to The Rt. Rev. Duncan.
