It’s not often that the Upstate SC Chapter of SinC gets to welcome an author, pastor, and newspaper writer. Deb Richardson-Moore fits this bill. As an author, Deb wrote the novel, The Cantaloupe Thief, released in June and a 2013 memoir, The Weight of Mercy. As a pastor, Deb serves the non- denominational Triune Mercy Center in Greenville, where she works to make homeless parishioners feel respected, loved – and deserving of a pastor who dresses up for them, even in high heels. As a writer for The Greenville News for 27 years, Deb covered art, theater, general features and religion.
