...what more does a woman have to do to land a tall-steeple pulpit? In the past, Andrews admits, she interviewed for two but got neither. Since her moderatorship, she has fielded feelers from four more but turned them down because of her current obligations. Moreover, she warns, "I'm very liberal. I'm very outspoken. I'm not eager to move." And the biggest churches, she says, require CEOs. "Am I a CEO kind of pastor? There are so many other things to consider beyond just climbing the ladder."

Noteworthy is a pastor who reverses the process, leaves a big church to minister to a poor small...
...would be able to carry on his fight against Darwinism better on the Education Committee, of which he is a member. The Moderator of the Assembly has the power of appointing the chairman of the 21 leading committees in the Presbyterian Church-and is a liberal. Aside from the Moderatorship struggle, the most important business to come before the Assembly was Will H. Hays' plan, as Chairman of the Committee on Ministerial Relief and Sustentation, to raise an endowment of $15,000,000 to enable retired ministers to look toward a decent old age. The 10,000 Presbyterian ministers...
