Interested in auditing or participating in a Reformed ethics course, from a historic, Scottish Presbyterian perspective?
A few years back, our small denomination decided to start up an in-house ministerial training program, especially for practical reasons such as preventing more debt for our students and enabling them to remain at home, keep their secular employment, and preserve ties with our congregations.
A committee of presbytery is presently exploring whether we might make our seminary course offerings available at an undergraduate level—with corresponding adaptations of academic requirement—for the personal enrichment of folks in our own denomination, the training and continuing education of our church officers, and then more broadly in the communities where we serve and beyond. (And personally, I would also like to explore making such courses available in Spanish, with sufficient assistance.)

Yesterday I finished the last round through my parishes for the season. As the air gets chillier, my hands and ears get colder, so doorstep conversations turn less pleasant for all involved. For the winter, I turn to revisit folks who will likely have me in, reach out to other contacts outside the district, and resume and start up one-on-one Bible studies.
Last year we held our first evangelistic outreach meeting within walking distance of my S. Providence parish, right on Broad Street in Providence. Last Saturday evening we had our second. As before, we recruited Pr. Luis Morales to translate for me. We sang Psalm 1 in Spanish and English, and we read and preached from Matthew 21:1-11 on the Triumphal Entry.
