The Parish Ministry of Thomas Chalmers

<p>Rev. Michael Ives of the Presbyterian Reformed Church of Rhode Island (<a href="https://prcofri.com/">https://prcofri.com/</a>) came on the show to talk about the nearly forgotten parish ministry of Rev. Thomas Chalmers, a nineteenth-century minister in the Free Church of Scotland. If you're thinking that this episode includes nothing more than a short lesson on the history of an obscure Presbyterian minister in Scotland, think again. As Rev. Ives so ably demonstrates, there is a lot that the Presbyterian Church in the twenty-first century can learn from this giant of Scottish Presbyterianism. </p><p>Please check out Rev. Ives' website <a href="https://westportexperiment.com/">https://westportexperiment.com/</a> if you want to know more about what parish ministry looks like in a modern context. </p><p>Rev. Ives, thanks so much for joining me! I look forward to doing it again soon!</p><p><strong><a rel="payment" title="★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★" href="https://www.patreon.com/thetruepresby">★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★</a></strong></p>
