Highlights for 2003 — Encouraging Figures

  
             
 

by Jack Rogers, Professor of Theology Emeritus, San Francisco Theological Seminary Moderator, 213th General Assembly

  
             
 
Presbyterians are generally thoughtful people. We prefer not to rush into things. We study issues, gather information, pray to God, and talk to each another. Keith Wulff and his colleagues in the Research Services office of the General Assembly Council do a splendid job of providing us with information. The Presbyterian Panel can tell us what Presbyterians think about a given issue. The booklet now in your hands, Comparative Statistics, gives us a comprehensive picture of our denomination in statistical form.
