Sara Lisherness, the current director of the Compassion, Peace & Justice ministry, will serve as the interim director for World Mission, effective Aug. 16, 2019.
In 1980, I was serving on the Youth Committee in Cincinnati Presbytery. We heard about this Triennium event that would be held at Indiana University. We didn't know much about it, but a group of youth and adults stepped out in faith and we went.
More than 4,000 youth and their chaperones clearly energized by having arrived at Purdue University for the 2019 Presbyterian Youth Triennium worshiped together Tuesday night through movement, singing, prayer, confession — and by hearing thoughtful, heartfelt preaching.
A quick but random check revealed an obvious reason so many young people have journeyed to Presbyterian Youth Triennium being held this week at Purdue University: They want to meet people.
As the Rev. Rob Mueller of Divine Redeemer Presbyterian Church in San Antonio put the final touches on the Global Partners exhibit space at the Presbyterian Youth Triennium Tuesday morning, he was experiencing both joy and anguish due to circumstances on the U.S. southern border.
World Mission staff has created a variety of online resources to equip Presbyterians to prepare for, engage in and reflect on God’s mission.
Presbyterian Youth Triennium staff and volunteers prepared for the Tuesday arrival of thousands of young people by worshiping together Monday evening and then remembering their baptisms and God’s unceasing mercy in a unique way.

Søren Kierkegaard dijo una vez: “Por encima de todo, no pierda su deseo de caminar: todos los días entro en un estado de bienestar y me alejo de todas las enfermedades; Me he metido en mis mejores pensamientos” … Muchas personas cristianas consideran que la práctica de caminar por el laberinto es una herramienta útil para enfocar sus pensamientos en Dios por medio del movimiento físico. Así como algunas personas se arrodillan para tener una postura útil para la oración, otras encuentran que el movimiento les ayuda a centrarse en las maneras en que Dios les guía. Considere utilizar el laberinto como un medio para el desarrollo del liderazgo y la nutrición espiritual como anciano/a gobernante. Es una metáfora de las formas en que Dios nos ha guiado en el pasado y la promesa de cómo Dios nos sigue guiando.
Søren Kierkegaard once said, “Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts. ...”[i]Many Christians find the practice of walking the labyrinth a useful tool in focusing their thoughts on God by means of physical movement. Just as some people find kneeling to be a helpful posture for prayer, others find that movement helps them center on the ways God guides them. Consider using the labyrinth as a means of leadership development and spiritual nurture as a ruling elder. It is a metaphor for the ways in which God has led us in the past and the promise of how God continues to lead us forward.
