    Did the EPC just become affirming?

    This past week the Evangelical Presbyterian Church held their 46th General Assembly, and things got tense. Many churches joined the EPC from the PCUSA in order to retreat from affirming theology in regards to homosexuality and ordination. Should men who experience same sex attraction be eligible for ordination? Or should there be a blanket barring of those who experience same sex attraction from ordained ministry and leadership in the church? That is what we will discuss today along with other issues discussed at General Assembly.

    Introduction to the Agora Podcast

    I've decided to start a podcast as an outlet to share my thoughts on the world through the lens of a pastor and student of theology, philosophy, and history. My goal is to be a pastor-theologian, one who dedicates their life to making theology accessible at the average Christian, and this is one step towards achieving that goal.
