The Rev. Geoffrey A. Black, UCC general minister and president, has completed the second leg of his anticipated ten city listening tour.

Black became General Minister and President Oct. 1 and hopes the listening sessions will help to set a new tone for conversations in the church. His second visit included stops at churches in the Massachusetts Conference and Andover-Newton Theological School Oct. 23-25. Future stops include Washington, D.C., in November and Miami in December.
