Thinking About...General Assembly
I spent 44 hours in Mobile, Alabama, last week, attending the 44th General Assembly of our denomination, the Presbyterian Church in America. General Assembly is the annual meeting of the church where important (and sometimes tedious) work of the church is done. I left this year’s Assembly encouraged by the spirit of the denomination and hopeful about the direction our church is headed. Since returning to Richmond, I’ve been thinking about the General Assembly and a few of the things that encouraged me.
Meeting Our Elder and Deacon Candidates
Over the last nine months, City Church has undertaken a process of identifying, nominating, and training both elders and deacons to lead and serve our church. The Session has tested and approved two men as eligible candidates for the office of elder: Andrew Bleckley and Hatch Reppard; and three men for the office of deacon: Frank Allen, Brandon Lowe, and Doug McBride.

Thinking About…Sins of Racism
Erik reflects on a resolution that City Church brought to our regional Presbytery calling on our denomination (the Presbyterian Church in America) and its member churches to recognize and repudiate the sin of racism, specifically as it was manifested during the Civil Rights Period of the 1950s and 60s.
