Vera White, Pittsburgh Presbytery

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 01:54:00 GMT

Vera White is the Pittsburgh Presbytery Director of New Church Development, Stewardship, and the Committee on Ministry.

This episode has two main themes that Vera develops in her sharing: presbymergent oriented leadership and presbytery-wide support of presbymergent NCDs. Veraâs role in Pittsburgh Presbytery provides a valuable collection of wisdom for any PC(USA) leader or governing body engaging with presbymergent.

Interspersed among this episodeâs pictures are paintings from the walls of a tattoo parlor, created by an artist connected to one of the Presbyteryâs NCDs. (BTW if you look with care at the picture that resembles âThe Last Supper,â you will realize why it is called âThe Last Tattoo.â)
