A ceremony at Standing Rock, a call to action from the NJASRC, a logging camp preacher, and correspondence from Mister Rogers. Relive these moments from Septembers past.
PHS staffers Luci Duckson-Bramble and David Staniunas were in and around Charlotte, North Carolina in late June to join the biennial gathering of the National Black Presbyterian Caucus. Our thanks go out first to the organizers of the event, especially to our colleague Lynne Foreman. Here’s a snapshot of our time there.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Here, I offer you one thousand words diving into the history behind this moment in 1960, when a Baird brother attended the cornerstone laying of the new Seoul Women's College.
We've recently digitized in full a 259-page photograph album pieced together by the Presbytery of Cuba in 1949. The scrapbook was created with the intention of commemorating the first 50 years of mission work in the country—inside, group shots of students, teachers, pastors and their families, and missionaries abound.
