"What is this project?", you ask.
I will visit all 28 Presbyterian (Presbyterian Church USA) congregations in the state of Wyoming, talking with pastors and members, trying to discover how the changes in the PCUSA are being received and expressed in the state of Wyoming. Since Wyoming is known as a conservative state, and since certain recent decisions in the PCUSA have moved the denomination toward left of center, I hope to find out how things are going. This project also gives me a good reason to explore all parts of the state of Wyoming - a place where I have never been before. I am grateful to the Louisville Institute for awarding me a Pastoral Study Grant to support this project. I am bound, by the terms of the grant, to communicate my findings, which I will do through this blog and also through (perhaps) an article when the project is completed.
