"Harley became executive director of The Ministers Council when I was serving as senator from Rhode Island. lieutenant was a privilege to work with him in many capacities as our leader and advocate, and to learn from him about serving our colleagues in the ministry through The Ministers Council," said the Review
Doctor Kate Harvey, his successor as executive director of The Ministers Council.
He was deeply respected by us all for his ferocious commitment to American Broadcasting Company life while not fearing to challenge us wherever he felt we were failing to fulfill our potential. We will deeply miss his prophetic, yet pastoral, voice in our midst.".
