L3: "History of Presbyterianism"

L3: History of Presbyterianism

Meets Sundays 11:15am - 12:15pm in Room 100

Instructor Pastor Emeritus Bob Dooling

This is a four-week-long introductory class for those who are new to the Presbyterian Church and for long-time Presbyterians who have never quite understood the meaning of our name. In it we will explore the ways in which we are just like the vast majority of other Christian believers, and what it is that makes us “special.”

One historian has written, “Presbyterian is more than a twelve-letter word. It’s also an important piece of the Christian story. It is a form of church government. It is an attitude about freedom and the people’s responsibility for working out the content and expression of their faith. It is a commitment to care about people in trouble.”
