<\/font>This past week was an eventful one for Presbyterians and here are some of the relevant news headlines that caught my attention. I have added a couple of days since I am about to become preoccupied with a family event and may not get this post out next week. There is also one headline not included that I am hoping to blog on separately.<\/p>\n

The PC(USA) held their Big Tent event and there were a couple of headlines that came out of that, at least in the hometown paper.<\/p>\n

\nPresbyterians in the \u2018Big Tent,\u2019 thinking out of the box<\/a><\/b> – from the Louisville Courier-Journal<\/p>\n

Faith & Works | Presbyterians talk renewal<\/a><\/b> – from the Louisville Courier-Journal\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nAt the same time a discussion in the PC(USA) — a discussion that actually started a few months ago — went viral and hit the mainstream media. The discussion is about one particular hymn, In Christ Alone, not appearing in the new hymnal because the authors would not agree to an alteration in one line.<\/p>\n

\nPresbyterians’ decision to drop hymn stirs debate<\/a><\/b> – from USA Today<\/p>\n

Mainline Protestants Abandon Orthodoxy, Exhibit XXXVI<\/a><\/b><\/font> – from National Review Online\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nAnd news about a PC(USA) affiliated school<\/p>\n

\nMontreat College plans merger with Point University<\/a><\/b> – from Asheville Citizen-Times\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nAcross the pond a headline concerning the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland visiting a now-closed infamous prison as development of the site is considered:<\/p>\n

\nTop Presbyterian set to visit Maze site<\/a><\/b> – from News Letter\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nAnd next door – the Moderator of the Church of Scotland begins tweeting and quickly has something to tweet about from her holiday in Spain:<\/p>\n

\nModerator’s tweet success on first day<\/a><\/b> – from Herald Scotland<\/p>\n

Holidaying Moderator tweets about bag theft on Barcelona beach<\/a><\/b> – from Herald Scotland\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nFinally, three headlines about African Presbyterians:<\/p>\n

\nGhana: Let’s Seek God’s Face On National Challenges – Moderator<\/a><\/b> – from allAfrica<\/p>\n

CCAP Nkhoma Synod warns Malawi govt. against legalizing abortion<\/a><\/b> – The Maravi Post<\/p>\n

Nigeria: Presbyterian Church Lauds National Assembly for Criminalising Same-Sex Marriage<\/a><\/b> – from allAfrica<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
