Why sweat through ‘calling’ a pastor when it’s simpler to just go supply?DAVID WILLIAMS - Monday, 20 February 2012 I motored my way from my home in Annandale, Va. out to the congregation I’d soon be serving part-time in Poolesville, Md. I had an 11 a.m. meeting scheduled with the clerk of session of the wee kirk there, to sign my first contract and talk about how things at Poolesville Presbyterian work. |
Baseline ChristianityEarl S. Johnson Jr. - Monday, 20 February 2012 Normally mature Christians do not wonder much in the new year if they kept the faith minimally enough in the past 12 months to get by. More likely, they feel guilty that they have failed to serve Christ with consistent commitment and worry more about the things left undone than what they did that offended God. |

But it remains to be seen whether this will produce a split or just a splinter. That depends on us. All of us. |
| Please pass the fig leaves |
I blew it. Here I was up to my eyeballs co-editing two different letters of outreach to many of my disaffected friends in the PC(USA), promising to “sow seeds of grace, kindness, respect and cooperation in every possible way — all toward the end of us all serving as agents of reconciliation before the watching world, as Scripture requires of us.” |

OPPRESSIONAn Outlook blog by Tom Hobson - Wednesday, 22 February 2012 The world is full of powerless people getting stomped on by those who have legal, political, or economic strings they can pull. In the Torah, God commands us repeatedly not to “oppress” the widow, the orphan or the alien, the groups who were the most vulnerable to exploitation. There are several different terms for “oppression” in the Hebrew Bible. Two of them are used in the same sentence in Exo. 22:21. One of them (lachatz) means to press someone hard. It is used for Balaam’s donkey shoving Balaam’s foot against a stone wall. It’s also used for when the... |
The rights of the poorTom Hobson - Wednesday, 15 February 2012 Proverbs 29:7 says, “A righteous person knows the rights of the poor; a wicked person does not understand such knowledge.” Unfortunately, because these rights were clearly understood by God’s people at the time, God did not spell them out in writing for us. |
Where have all the “angry” elders gone?James Babcock - Monday, 13 February 2012 As a teaching elder, long in tooth and at the risk of being branded a heretic, I feel compelled to comment on what I perceive in reading, listening and generally observing the actions and rhetoric surrounding present activities within the PC(USA). |
