| These are challenging times for presbyteries around the nation. Radical individualism has taken form in a radical congregationalism that challenges our connectionalism as Presbyterians. More and more churches look to the secular courts to settle ecclesiastical matters resulting in a weakening of our religious freedom to “be and act as the church” independent from state interference.
On Thursday, February 19, 2009 from 2:00-5:30 PM EST, Pittsburgh Presbytery will hold a live and
interactive on-line convocation informative convocation: Our Freedom of Religion at Risk – A Presbyterian Crisis. The full convocation will be webcast over the internet. Plans are being made for Q & A participation in the convocation by those viewing from remote sites. We encourage you to schedule group viewing and discussion throughout your Presbytery.
Presentation topics followed by on-line group discussions are:
 The Westminster Assembly by Dr. Joseph Small
Covenant and Freedom of Conscience by Dr. Beau Weston and
Dr. Euan Cameron
Religious Liberty: A Legal History by attorneys Mark Tammen,
Esq. and Rev. Jeff Tindall
Because of production and webinar expense, Pittsburgh Presbytery would sincerely appreciate a contribution from each of our sister presbyteries and other organizations that host their own site to assist in defraying these expenses. The cost is $200. Please click on the info page for complete details.
