D., President of the Presbyterian Historical Society. Any publication bearing upon Presbyterianism has more or less value to all who love its history, doctrine, polity, and progress, but the present volume will be more than usually prized. It is a unique contribution to the history of a Church known for its sterling, intel ligent, and faithful eldership as well as for its able and consecrated ministry. The book is a memorial of what the Vresbyterian Church has accomplished in Philadelphia, but represents more than a local interest. It has a wider reach as a forerunner and model of what liberal laymen, historically inclined, may do for Presbyterianism in all its large centres, in the way of giving to the public, in impressive out line, the noble work which our Church has accomplished in their respec tive localities.

  • The Epistle St
    The Epistle St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church APRIL 22909 Center Ridge Road, Rocky River, Ohio 2012 Pastoral Thoughts by Fr. Jim Doukas “Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. “ John 20:6-7 While reading this Resurrectional Gospel passage of St. John, when Peter looked into the tomb and found the grave cloth neatly folded, I kind of focused on the ‘neatly folded’ part. Why was that so special to be mentioned? Why was it so neatly folded? Why wasn’t it just thrown to the side or taken with him? What was the significance of that piece of cloth, folded up so neatly? It’s amazing as we learn about the symbolism and significance of this folded cloth. It’s a custom in the Jewish tradition that when you eat at a friend’s table or any table….that your napkin, if crumpled and thrown on the table, means that you will not be back and that a folded cloth meant that you would be returning….someday! Jesus folded His grave cloth neatly to share with us that He would return, as it says in the Creed; that He is not finished with us; that there are lots of opportunities for us to share in the “Good News;” that we who are followers of Christ are people of agape- love; and that we, as His disciples, must re-affirm that we can live only one way: in forgiveness, humility and love.
