Jamie Berkley - Meeting People Where They Are
Jamie Berkley is the Assistant Public Defender for the 28th Judicial District in Tennessee and an elder and session clerk at the Newbern Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Jamie shares how meeting people where they are opens the door for common ground and conversation about family, life and faith.
Jamie Berkley writes: I am a 5th generation Cumberland Presbyterian; I have attended the Newbern Cumberland Presbyterian Church all of my life. I am also an attorney, and I am lucky to serve as an Assistant Public Defender in the 28th Judicial District, defending people who cannot afford an attorney. I am in a book club; I love to read. I have three dogs. I love a good road trip, and I have a special talent for finding really good restaurants and fun events. I also really really really love live music.
