Thinking About...A Great Food Scene
Last night I attended a Public Square event hosted by the Richmond Times Dispatch. It featured a presentation of recent survey results focused on Millennials and specifically what it takes for a city like Richmond to attract and retain the coveted young professional demographic. Several members of the City Church community were key leaders of the survey process, analysis, and presentation. I was impressed by their work, their thoughtful recommendations, and by the engagement of the gathered crowd. I’ve been thinking about some of their findings, especially the focus on a great food scene.
Thinking About...Starting Points
Recently with a group friends I have been reading through the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF). The WCF is an old document; it was composed in 1640s by a group of pastors and Bible scholars from England. It summarizes the theology of the Presbyterian Church. The WCF starts with a chapter on the Bible. I’ve been thinking about what it means that the WCF chooses the Bible as its starting point.
