Friday Events

DSC04283The 2nd day of the preaching conference was full of events before the actual evening conference events. In the morning PIU hosted a breakfast for pastors and wives to meet and talk with Kent and Nola Edwards. The monsoon rains in the morning held down attendance (we were plowing through “deep” water on our way there) but we had a lively discussion about how pastors and wives should complement each other’s ministries. I forgot to take pictures of this event because I was working hard on my Chamorro Scramble.

After breakfast we hustled Kent and Nola up to the campus for the chapel service so that Kent could be our chapel speaker.

The lunch event was our monthly theological discussion group meeting in the PIU library. This time we had lunch provided by several gracious donors and a good group turned out to discuss with Dr. Edwards, the theology of preaching, the place of preaching in the modern church, church polity and several other theological issues relating to how the church should accomplish its mission. The discussion was lively with local pastors, PIU staff and faculty and several students contributing questions and opinions. Next month (November 18th) we will follow up    with further discussion of ecclesiology.
