Let the Craziness of the Call Process Begin

December 6, 2007

Right now, 3.00pm EST, I am in an interview. And the craziness of the call process begins.
Granted, it’s a crazy time for all seniors at Princeton Seminary. Especially if you’re PC(USA). My presbytery has been very helpful in allowing me to begin circulating my PIF (Personal Information Form) but I know some people whose presbyteries [...]

Can presbymergent Save the PC(USA)?

November 21, 2007

Presbymergent has continued to gain steam, and more and more people have begun to connect with it (we’re over 200 on our Facebook group and we have 199 contributors on the website).
