The Family in Crisis


On April 2, our congregation hosted a symposium entitled "The Family in Crisis: Three Pastoral Responses" in conjunction with the stated meeting of the Presbytery of the Dakotas of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. Unfortunately, the hard drive recording the event crashed, depriving the greater world of the opportunity to hear the rather lively discussion between myself and the Revs. Shawn Mathis and Kevin Swanson in response to questions from the audience. I personally hoped the audio would open the event to a broader audience because I have found little serious interaction by proponents of the family-integrated Church movement with their mature critics; in God's providence, however, this was not to be.

Not all was lost, though: the three papers which provided a basis for the discussion are posted at Park Hill Presbyterian Church's SermonAudio site. Read, and reflect.
