[edit] Ross Island

This needs mention of the whole Ross Island thing. This may require a trip to the library due to O-vanish. Katr67 22:12, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oregon Clergy category

Perhaps we should mention his status as Founder and Senior Pastor of the Christ Community Church in the article (as per his website, though there seem to be several organizations that go by that name; the one that Christ Community Church links to seems to be unrelated). And if he is an ordained minister, it would be of interest in which church he was ordained. It would help make sense of the clergy cat. Jayen466 19:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I was curious about this too. The church is in Newberg, Oregon. Here's some refs:

I hope that helps! Katr67 (talk) 20:42, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

This is great. I hope we can expand the article a bit. If we only focus on the ministry thing, though, there might be weight issues, as it's really not what he's known for. So we should work on stuff like the Tribune, Christian Supply, Ross Island Sand and Gravel, etc. Actually, his main business is textiles -- he has a corner on the market for pocket liners (I kid you not!) -- but that stuff is not based in Oregon, and I know less about it than his local businesses. -Pete (talk) 20:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
