I'm a PCUSA pastor and I wish you well on your Presbyquest. Congrats for passing the ords! On my recent statement of faith in a new Presbytery, my take on the end times was to say I'm a "pan-millenialist" - it will all pan out in the end! One of the members of my new congregation took me to task, thinking it was a bit too flippant on such an important topic (which is not that important to me). Just finished a great book on the topic by a British writer - "Have a Nice Doomsday". Very illuminating about what's going on out there in the world of endtimes enthusiasts. Wish me luck as I work on my sermon! Peace, Rev. Rick Oppelt Flanders, NJ Hi,

Just came across your blog as I was doing some surfing regarding rapture bumper stickers, as I’m preaching on the lectionary text this week on Mt. 25.

I’m a PCUSA pastor and I wish you well on your Presbyquest. Congrats for passing the ords!

On my recent statement of faith in a new Presbytery, my take on the end times was to say I’m a “pan-millenialist” – it will all pan out in the end!

Wish me luck as I work on my sermon!
