During the Service to officially Install Mac Schafer as DPC’s Pastor and Head of Staff, Rev. Ruth Faith Santana-Grace, Executive Presbyter of the Presbytery of Philadelphia, gave a passionate charge to the congregation. She called DPC “a people of vision, of courage, of resilience, of compassion.” “I charge you to boldly embody that compassion!” she exclaimed to both the congregation and to Mac. “Bear that light! Be that light – as people and pastor!” As Mac noted during the benediction – he is thrilled to finally go “from getting here – to being here!”
