		<description><![CDATA[Hello friends! There are several news items I want to share with you today, but before I do that, I also need YOUR VIEWS.  At the last Presbytery meeting, we put out a survey to get feedback on our communication efforts and to discover how you most want to receive communications from the Presbytery.  If [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We Presbyterians talk a lot about “call.” In the most immediate sense, call is the call of Jesus to follow him, to be his disciple. As we respond to that call, we will find that the Spirit activates gifts in us such as those listed in Romans chapter 12. John Wimber (founding pastor of Vineyard Christian Fellowship) preferred [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re into the plenary sessions now (where all of the commissioners meet to review and vote on the recommendations from the committees).  Thursday&#8217;s meeting went beyond 10 pm, having started at 9:30 am&#8230; a very long day for all of us.   The intensity is broken by frequent times of prayer, singing and sharing with one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, folks, I can tell you that Cherokee Presbytery can be very proud of its commissioners.  As I visited the committees in session over the last two days, Velma, David, Ken, Andrew and Mickey were all hard at work&#8230; AND they each contributed to the work of their committees by offering ideas, refinements, insights and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, the committees are in full swing.  They met all day, completing the preliminary readings and statements by overture advocates and listening to others who wished to speak to the various overtures.  The committee that is considering Marriage and Civil Unions had so many people wishing to speak, that they had to resort to a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In less than a week, we will gather in Minneapolis to convene the 219th meeting of the General Assembly. As I’ve been thinking and praying about this, Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares came to mind (see Matthew chapter 13). In this parable, the master’s servants observe that tares (weeds) have invaded the crop of good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Perhaps it is the Biblical imagery of breath and fire for the Holy Spirit combined with the artistic influence of Dale Chilhuly (glass artist from Seattle), but whatever the reason, I have come to think of the Holy Spirit&#8217;s ministry as that of a glass blower.  A glassblower takes lumps of glass that are [...]]]></description>
