Beschreibung:
Kenneth L. Cuthbertson is a retired Presbyterian (PCUSA) minister. Ordained in 1982, Ken has served several churches as stated supply, interim, and parish associate minister, as well as teaching for an ecumenical religious studies program in New Mexico. Ken received a PhD in the History of Christianity through the School of Religion at the University of Iowa in 1992. Originally from Kansas, Ken has also lived in Massachusetts, Iowa, and Illinois. Ken and husband Doug have resided in New Mexico for the last thirty years.
In a time when organized religion is suffering an identity crisis, the author of The Last Presbyterian? examines the faith culture that shaped him and his family over the last half millennium. Filled with historical, theological, and spiritual reflections and set in the context of both old family stories and current trends, Cuthbertson's book addresses such timely issues as practicing faith within families, setting aside time for God, and the changing facets of leadership and discipleship within the Presbyterian tradition. Starting with the "Psalm-singing, Sabbath-keeping, Shorter-Catechism-memorizing" branches of Scots-American Presbyterianism, this book offers an affectionate look back, and a hopeful look ahead, to an emergent Presbyterianism coming to terms with issues such as LGBT ordination and same-gender marriage, interfaith relations, and care for the earth.
