Potomac Conference
Editorial by Rick Jordan
As we reflect on the extraordinary events of 2020, we understand our lives have dramatically changed. The pandemic shut down the economy, prohibited public gatherings and closed churches and schools.

Takoma Academy (TA) began the year in a virtual learning setting. Faculty and staff continue expanded opportunities for students to learn in a rigorous, yet accommodating structure. Teaching and learning in a remote environment, however, can pose challenges. TA recognizes these concerns and spent the summer bolstering their ability to offer effective virtual learning and additional supports for students academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally.
Alexis A. Goring, a member of Potomac Conference’s Restoration Praise Center in Bowie, Md., recently released a devotional book, Stories and Songs of Faith: My Journey with God. Each chapter is a weekly theme for the reader’s year.
The Visitor staff recently interviewed her about this new work.
