Here are some useful links for
Presbyterians:
The web site of the Presbyterian
Church, USA contains an index of Presbyterian congregations, news about
the Presbyterian Church USA, daily readings, background information about
the church, mission information, and lots of other interesting stuff.
The Presbytery of Philadelphia is a great
resource for finding out recent decisions by the Presbytery and activities
and action opportunities in the Philadelphia region. GSPC is a member of this presbytery.
The PCUSA organization produces a monthly magazine called Presbyterians Today. This
magazine is for the people of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), offering
information about the Presbyterian Church and its mission, a Christian
perspective on contemporary issues, and guidance for daily living. If you
are interested in obtaining a subscription, please contact the church
office.
There's an independent organization, the Presbyterian Outlook Foundation,
that produces a publication on the web called The Presbyterian Outlook
. The publication dates back 180
years and provides information and commentary independent of the church's
governing body. Its mission is "to promote free and independent
discussion of issues confronting the Presbyterian Church, to disseminate
accurate information about developments in the Christian Church in general
and the Presbyterian Church in particular, to advance understanding of the
Reformed faith in its historic and contemporary meaning, to promote study
of the Christian message, to develop an informed constituency of
Presbyterians who can contribute their talents to the life and mission of
both the Presbyterian Church and the whole body of believers, to promote
preaching the Christian gospel, establishing churches and nurturing
Presbyterian communities to insure the survival of the Presbyterian Church
(U.S.A.) as a vital Christian community."
The Book of Confessions
from the Presbyterian Church (USA) can be found on the Web. There are some
very inspiring things here, and you can also learn a bit about the history
of the church and its thought. (Note: This takes a
while to load. Be patient.)
The Bible and Other Readings
You can find the Bible, as well as useful facts about it, at several
locations on the web.
To read the New Revised
Standard Version on-line
The Bible Gateway contains
online versions of Bible chapters.
Christian readings, other than the Bible, can be found at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library. The
site provides a wide variety of classic books related to Christianity, all
of which are in the public domain, so that you may copy them freely for any
purpose.
Religious Research
If you're doing serious research on religion, the Virtual Religion Index, compiled
by the Religion Department at Rutgers University, is the place to start. It
really helps cut down your time spent searching, with links to every site
on religion imaginable.
Religious Music
If you enjoy listening to church music, you'll love the Cyber Hymnal. At this site
you'll find over 1,700 Christian hymns and Gospel songs from many
denominations. There are lyrics, sound, background information, photos,
links, MIDI files and scores you can download.
General Interest
A great web site, with lots of interesting items for Christians is Crosswalk.com. The site
includes help for Bible study, a filtering program for searching the web
while blocking bad sites, and many articles of interest to Christians (not
just about Christianity).
