The Rev. Dr. Steve Montgomery, praised by his local newspaper as “a progressive conscience of Memphis,” died Friday at age 68 after being critically injured three days earlier during a bicycle ride.
Back in 2013, I joined a German colleague of mine who was working in Ghana at the time on a visit to a rural health clinic run by the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. The clinic was in the community of Kwahu Praso, about three hours northwest of Accra, the capital of Ghana, and for several years, it had been receiving financial support from some German Protestant congregations. The visit was a chance to learn more about the place and see how it was doing.
