What’s to Become of our Church?
Trajectories of Hope
Featuring Jack Haberer, Editor of the Presbyterian Outlook
Like a ship in a harbor being rocked by the waves, so the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
is getting rocked by the double waves of NFog and 10-A. Have the mooring lines
broken asunder? Will the church be dashed upon the rocks? Will the church
founder and sink? Many people are raising these questions, as witnessed by the
gathering of the Fellowship of Presbyterians this fall, who will gather again at a
covenanting convention early in the new year. Are there better alternatives to that
which is splitting us apart? Can we Presbyterians navigate effectively through these
troubled waters?
