PNews – 2/4/21
News from Pittsburgh Presbytery
A pandemic that has disrupted the entirety of our social world has wreaked havoc with good Presbyterian order. We have no roadmap for this, because there are no roads yet built across this territory. We are more like ships at sea than like vehicles on land – instead of maps, we follow the heavens. But will our good order help or hinder our navigation through the current chaos? In this week’s meditation, Decently and in Order?, Rev. Dr. Sheldon W. Sorge discusses this question and more.
The Pittsburgh chapter of the National Black Presbyterian Caucus is hosting the Second Annual “Rich Heritage of African Americans in the Presbyterian Church” event. This year will be a virtual gathering on Zoom with keynote speaker, Rev. Dr. Warren Lesane, Synod Executive & Stated Clerk of the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic. Registration is open now!
This three hour virtual retreat is designed to give faith leaders a chance to take a breath and break in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are two opportunities to join, March 9 at 9:00 a.m. or March 10 at 1:30 p.m. Space is limited to 25 participants per gathering, so hurry to register now!
