Presbyterian – new category
I am an elder and clerk of session in my church, First presbyterian, Quincy, Illinois. I find myself more and more taken up with church affairs and figure it’s time I start talking about it more on the Orlop. I have added the subcategory “Presbyterian” under “Bible and Religion.”
My denomination is the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and like all mainline (some now call us oldline) denominations, PCUSA finds itself caught in many cultural cross-currents and has been declining in membership and influence for a long time. Our church has been active in various renewal groups that are dedicated to helping the PCUSA clean up its act theologically and be more effective in what some are calling the post-denominational age.
Dave, which a little renewal wouldn’t hurt him, either.
