#GivingTuesday, a global day of giving which falls this year on Nov. 28, is a day when Presbyterians are once again invited to be radically generous on behalf of a world in need.
With two members in dissent, the Presbyterian Mission Agency Board voted Friday to appoint a three-member task force to study equitable unified clergy compensation by exploring “innovative models to increase the number of churches that can engage pastoral leadership.”
Between 2 Pulpits, a podcast put on by Special Offerings that’s been on hiatus for nearly a year, is once again available thanks to the efforts of the Rev. Dr. John Wilkinson and Katie Snyder.
The Rev. Wilson Kennedy began serving in Ministry Engagement and Support as the Associate Director for Special Offerings and Appeals on Sept. 25. In this role, he will lead the team that promotes and interprets the four churchwide Special Offerings, the Presbyterian Giving Catalog, Direct Mail, and Digital Fundraising.
While the Rev. Dr. John Wilkinson appreciates that all large organizations have “many moving parts that all work together” — just as the Apostle Paul’s scriptural metaphor of the “one body” would have it — he did not expect that his family would be among those parts that kept moving.
In what he described as “a welcome convergence of my vocational journey as well as my personal and family journey,” the Rev. Dr. John Wilkinson began work as the director of the Ministry Engagement and Support team on May 8.
