Developing Presbyterian Leaders
Rev. Marcia Clark Myers, Director of Vocation for the PC(USA), recently gave a presentation on the challenges facing leaders in the PC(USA) that has generated a lot of Twitter traffic and internet “buzz.” We here at PresbyGrow encourage all of you watch this presentation which is simultaneously fascinating, sobering, and hopeful.
(from the PCUSA website:)

What an insightful and thought-provoking presentation!
I am amazed at one thing — How are there only forty-two tentmaking pastors? I know two of them, in any case, and besides the risky burnout factor (self-care is of the utmost) it seems to be a beautiful and highly meaningful line of work. I intend to go into this line once I graduate from seminary (and I learn to make tents…)
