\nWell, I do realize that I am two weeks behind on these but I want to take these in bite-sized pieces (this is my lunch hour after all) so I am only going to do one week and try to do the second one tomorrow or the next day.<\/p>\n

There were two developing situations that I did not catch up on last time as I was waiting for some resolution before I did so. I think the time is right to do that now (and yes, there is a little spill-over to the next week).<\/p>\n

The first is a series of headlines chronicling the sale and development of a camp the Presbytery of Chicago is selling:<\/p>\n

\nLake Michigan luxury homes on site of former Saugatuck church camp face opposition<\/a><\/b> – from m-live<\/p>\n

\nThe second situation was related to elections in Mizoram state of India, and the Presbyterian Church’s Mizoram Synod was pressuring the election commission to change the voting and counting dates, including moving the latter off the Lord’s Day. The Election Commission made the changes:<\/p>\n

\nChange in Mizoram poll dates under consideration by Election Commission<\/a><\/b> – from NDTV<\/p>\n


\nEC revises Mizoram assembly election schedule, polling now on November 25<\/a><\/b> – from The Times of India\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nIn other news…<\/p>\n

From Ghana the Presbyterian Church in Ghana celebrates an anniversary and the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church raises economic concerns:<\/p>\n

\nCentral Presbytery celebrates silver jubilee<\/a><\/b> – from Ghana Business News<\/p>\n

\nAnd finally…<\/p>\n

A celebration:<\/p>\n

\nlead one of the nation\u2019s oldest seminaries was inaugurated and installed

\nAnd a passing – TE Ben Haden, former pastor of Chattanooga First Presbyterian Church (PCA):<\/p>\n

\nLongtime First Presbyterian pastor Ben Haden dies<\/a><\/b> – from Times Free Press<\/p>\n

Television Preacher Ben Haden Dies at 88<\/a><\/b> – from WDEF News\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nSo there is one week. Now so get caught up on last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
