Matthew W. Kingsbury has been a minister of Word and sacrament in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church since 1999. At present, he teaches 5th-grade English Language Arts at a charter school in Cincinnati, Ohio. He longs for the recovery of confessional and liturgical presbyterianism, the reunification of the Protestant Church, the restoration of the American Republic, and the salvation of the English language from the barbarian hordes.

Presbyterian statuary
Our friends the Boersmas, who are missionaries in South Africa, recently visited Brazil. In Rio de Janeiro, they found what claims to be the first Presbyterian Church building in that nation (although I wonder if they didn't put up something a little more modest to begin with). In the plaza it faces are several statues demonstrating presbyterian distinctives. Notice how everyone in the pews are carefully examining their Bibles in response to the preached word. Does my curmudgeony heart good.
