I am a 27 year old seminarian, husband, Mac-loving web & graphic designing, Progressive Presbymergent. I am the creator of presbymergent.org and serve as one of the Presbymergent Editors. More info here.
Awhile ago while looking through the Presbyterian Church (USA) Book of Order (BOO), I ran across this section:

So clearly this community of friends is starting to gather more inertia. One thing I’ve been wondering for some time is whether we needed to design a logo for presbymergent.

You may notice in the comments section now on this site, there are little places where a silhouette placeholder graphic exists. However, if you check out my author archive here, you’ll see there is a little image that I use as my avatar. In case you’d like to add a little more personalization to your [...]
You’ll notice that we’re using a different WordPress them for the presbymergent site right now. I think this theme adds some helpful usability to our site and is more pleasing to look at. But what does everyone else think? We’ll be doing some work on the site over the next few months, and hopefully this [...]

Professors at Columbia Theological Seminary have the chance to write and dialogue on an online journal geared toward “theological investigations in church & culture.” The online journal is called @ this point, and their newest online version is a collection of essays based around the theme, “A New Church For a New Century.” Included in [...]
Greetings Presbymergent friends. Things have been a little slow on the site recently, but it is a very busy time of the year. I’m going to have my finals in the next few weeks, and then Sarah and I are moving back to Princeton, NJ so I can finish my final (4th!) year at Princeton [...]
