Notes de l'éditeur
- Tell the story of childhood faith. Growing up Presbyterian influenced the ways I think about and articulate my faith in deep ways. I am deeply tied to the denomination and want to see it flourish in the years to come. I am also deeply skeptical of many of it’s ways of doing ministry and hope to influence change as a lifelong member.
- One of the great strengths of the emerging conversation is found when thinkers and practitioners are willing to throw out the “way it’s always been” and renew a sense of “seeking the best moving forward.”
