Among his
instructions on how to be Church, the Apostle Paul included
“Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will
fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2). The Urban
Pastor's network continues to be one vital way that happens
in our Presbytery.
The most important thing we do is meet every Wednesday at
8:30 for breakfast, fellowship, conversation and prayer.
During those times we've encouraged one another, celebrated
ministry taking place in our various congregations, shared
ideas about particular challenges we're facing, had trusting
theological discussions, and prayed for the Presbytery and
for one another. We have had a couple of occasions to 'play'
together - an evening out with spouses and an intentional
'play time' at Dave and Busters.
We are not all urban pastors, but we do all have a heart for
concerns shared by churches in urban settings. And we don't
have a set agenda, but we've had some important
accomplishments in the past year.
