Returning to 'da Burgh
Posted by tom | Oct 28, 2008Pray for Theresa and myself as we work out the details for two trips to Pittsburgh which will occur over the course of the next several days. Pray for safe and peaceful travel, good nighttime sleep for the whole family, and significant conversations as we reconnect with friends and partners in ministry.
The first visit will be with the whole family and involve reconnecting with a number of friends, including those at Allegheny Center C&MA (our home congregation when we were in 'da Burgh and a continuing partner in ministry). Note: if you're from the 'da Burgh and would like to see us at ACAC, look for us after the 2nd service at the Welcome Center and then later in the Heritage Room.
I'll travel with the family back to Central PA and then return to 'da Burgh to be part of an Election Day panel discussion on Human Authority at the IVCF-CMU's large group. Pray for preparations for this gathering and strength/focus for Theresa while I'm traveling.
BTW, post here or drop me an email if you have helpful ideas/articles on Thinking about religious and secular authority at election times: Their place in modern democratic society. ... without turning a gathering into a political argument ;-)
