Wow Presbyterians

Presbyterians love to make jokes about themselves (God’s frozen chosen, declining in a decent and orderly way, etc.). But the 900+ young adults I met this week in Montreat, NC, exemplify an inspiring future for the Presbyterian church … if they’re taken seriously and listened to and encouraged. The quality of conversation and interaction was at the “wow” level. My level of hope and enthusiasm about new things breaking forth in Mainline Protestantism continues to rise. What a great way to start the year – with tremendous young disciples like these!
