We just had a glorious time at CREC Council this year in Houston. The way our polity is structured, presbyteries meet once a year for business (they may meet more frequently for fellowship and singing), and the Council meets every third year. On those third years, the Council and presbyteries meet in the same place …
Heh
The “No Unwanted Child Left Alive” Act
Obama has said that the abortion question is “above his pay grade.” What is actually the case is that simple honesty on the issue is above his pay grade.
