Summary

Armed with his leather-bound copy of Robert's Rules, Fred Greco joins Todd and Carl to discuss the recent General Assembly meeting of the Presbyterian Church in America and his role as moderator. Breathing a sigh of relief, Fred and Todd report that the 2023 GA was more charitable and constructive than in previous years, and good progress was made. And yet we find Carl is still not ready to change teams. Thank you to P&R Publishing for providing three giveaway copies of Guy Prentiss Waters’ book, How Jesus Runs the Church, for our listeners. Congratulations to our winners: Cobb L. from Marshfield, MO, Rebecca M. from Monaca, PA, and Bill S. from Waynesburg, PA!

1:34.1	So it's, it's, it's, that's, that's pretty warm, uh, summer day for, for the Shinandoah Valley,
1:39.3	which brings us to our guest today, Carl, because our guest lives in a region that I'm quite familiar
