Genesis 37 begins the tragic and redemptive story of the children of Israel. In a few brief paragraphs, a vivid picture is painted of a family rife with conflict.

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.

The Presbyterian Fellowship recently released “Draft Theology Proposals” prepared by a “Theology Task Force” in which I participated together with two friends and colleagues. My participation in the task force has led a number of people to infer that I am affiliated with the Fellowship and that I support the formation of a “New Reformed Body.”

Once again, Presbyterians could have discussed how race operates among us and how it could operate. The most recent opportunity came through a solid, dynamic theological statement — the first from the Southern Hemisphere considered for inclusion in our Book of Confessions.

On Tuesday, May 10, a vote in the presbytery of the Twin Cities area
tipped the balance in a 30-year debate about ordination standards in the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), presumably allowing gays and lesbians to
become pastors, elders and deacons in gay-affirming congregations.

c. 2011 USA Today (RNS) In its relatively short history, the United States has stood as the world's beacon of freedom, defender of democracy and pillar of principled power. An exceptional country, one blessed by the very hand of God. Right? Well, sort of.

Organizations and individuals from across the globe took to the streets a couple of weekends ago to protest the U.S. government’s treatment of Pfc. Bradley Manning (of WikiLeaks fame), who has been held in solitary confinement for more than nine months. As founder of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, I agree that solitary confinement is not the answer.

A personal reflection by Eddie Soto with response by Outlook Editor Jack Haberer
Dear Christian friend,
This morning I read the news that the Rev. David Wilkerson, founder of Teen Challenge and author of the best selling book, The Cross and the Switchblade, died in an automobile accident in Texas.
His book was the first Christian book I ever read as a new Christian in 1965 when I gave my life to Christ at the age of 15. When I discovered that his recovery center for drug addicts was in Brooklyn, New York (where I was raised and lived at the time) I visited it, was impressed with the testimonies of lives changed by the power of the Christian Gospel and went there often to participate in ministry opportunities.
Two years later, in 1967, Rev. Wilkerson was preaching every Saturday evening at a local movie theater in the lower east side and I had the privilege of being invited to translate his messages into the Spanish language since many Hispanics lived in the area. As a result many came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
I am very much saddened with his death but testify to the fact of his sincere love for Christ and for the many whose lives were eventually changed through his dynamic ministry. He was not perfect (as none of us are) but he was always the first to recognize his shortcomings and very sincere in his efforts to take the Gospel to those ignored or shunned by society.
I pray for the recovery of his wife from this tragic accident, for his family and the many people whose lives now have meaning because of his answer to God's call to reach out to the needy. Below is his last message on the web (the day of his death) which can have special meaning to those of us who are struggling in some area of our life. God bless you all!
In Christ,
Rev. Eddie Soto
Associate for Latin American Ministries
Charleston-Atlantic Presbytery

As a big sports fan, I have been watching how the NCAA is working to maintain unity in the ever changing landscape of Division I athletics. It has made me wonder if the PCUSA should discuss something similar. Consider the following changes that will be made this coming fall in college sports:

What does a preacher or writer do when the well runs dry? For well over a month my
well has been dry as a bone. I have nothing to say.

I found the quote, "I don't want to fight the women's thing again," interesting to say the least.
