And Here We Go

This is my first post to the Moderator's Blog that the techno-wizards in Louisville have set up for me (we've archived something I wrote for the Presbyterian Leader about the role of elders, but this is the first true post). I freely confess that I am not as adept at this sort of thing as former Moderator Bruce Reyes-Chow and former Vice Moderator Byron Wade. They have shown, however, how effective blogs and social media can be in connecting all of us across the entire church, so I hope to post thoughts and comments here as often as possible -- and I'm sure my Vice Moderator, Landon Whitsitt, will gently encourage me if I fall behind.
