Upcoming Events

The Presbyterian Church (USA) recently made some momentous decisions that generated immediate controversy. In this two-week course, the Rev. J.C. Austin examines several of the most volatile issues in the national church -- and ponders what the future may hold for our denomination, and for congregations across the country. The first session will focus on changes to the Presbyterian Form of Government, particularly those that have opened the door to the ordination of openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) clergy. The second session will take up the question of the PCUSA’s engagement in the Middle East, specifically its controversial policy “phased, selective divestment” from certain American corporations operating in Israel.
