A new conference center director<\/p>\n

Richard DuBose Named President of Montreat Conference Center<\/a><\/strong> – from Montreat press release<\/p>\n

Plan to cut voting age for 2016 Scottish election<\/a><\/strong> -from BBC News<\/p>\n

The Church of Scotland is working with other churches on economic reforms and initiatives. More on that at a future date, but here is a bit from this time span:<\/p>\n

And finally, it is not Presbyterian per se<\/em> but I got a smile from this one – a participant in the Vatican Synod on the Family who thought the process was a bit too open and equal?<\/p>\n

RI bishop: Synod process is ‘rather Protestant’<\/a><\/strong> – from Crux; “The concept of having a representative body of the Church voting on doctrinal applications and pastoral solutions strikes me as being rather Protestant.”<\/p>\n
