Bruce Reyes-Chow: Reflections from the Heartland
After spending the past few days as the guest of Jeff Light and the Heartland Presbyterian Center I have a renewed belief that there is a strong movement of untapped and unleashed optimism in our church. There are things that are holding us back, sure, but overall, when engaged in meaningful conversations about faith, church and life there is great hope. ...
... Dinner at The Power Plant with a few others folks that evening. I particularly enjoyed getting to know the person behind the blog, Kruse Kronicle. Most of the conversation was around the state of the church and culture in the Kansas City area, which I found fascinating. We also chatted a great deal about the denomination at a GA level. No "doomsday-the-sky-is-falling" rants heard here, mostly a realistic assessment of where we have been and excitement about what is going on and where we could be in the future.
Yup. Your lowly Kronicler was hanging with the candidate for moderator on a snowy Thursday evening in Parkville. I appreciated the opportunity to meet Bruce and learn more about what he is about. I enjoyed the time as well, Bruce.
If this works like last time, candidates for moderator will be at the April GAC meeting, but Bruce can't make that event, so I'm glad I got to meet him last week.
I got a moderatorial-candidate shout-out too. Good to finally meet him, too. Bruce is a good guy...

I agree, Chad. We will see how it all comes out.
BTW, I see you have taken a page from Prince by becoming "Chad, formerly known as Kairos." :)
