To Be a Presbyterian

by Louis B. Weeks

Book Description Publication December 1983 In this lay-friendly introduction to what it means to be a Presbyterian, Louis B. Weeks explains the life, history, tradition, and beliefs of the Presbyterian Church. Offering more than providing a brief overview, Weeks ties his explanations to actual congregational situations. Each chapter begins with an anecdote and then examines the theme in the following pages. It is ideal for new-member classes and for those who seek a refresher course on Presbyterianism. Originally publishing this volume in 1983, Weeks has updated many of the original anecdotes and added material to reflect decades of change in the PC(USA).

A quick summary of the Presbyterian system of beliefs, which is to say "everyone is different."

A good introduction

This was a very surface level introduction to the PCUSA (the church of which I am a part). It made me long for diet study, which is perhaps its greatest accomplishment.

Very informative and well-reasoned. Affirming.
