More Thoughts on Liam

Further comments from Pastoral Selection Committee members on our nominee and process.

Tenth's influence in the broader denomination became very apparent to me during this process. I was amazed at the number of sastors, elders, and laymen who told me they were praying for our selection process. The sense was that these individuals had been richly blessed by the teaching ministry at Tenth and they were looking forward to that tradition continuing with whoever filled the pulpit next as Senior Minister. Whether it was at General Assembly, Presbytery, or in general discussions, the message was the same, "We are praying for Tenth. That God would raise up the right man to fill the pulpit." It was encouraging to know that so many were praying so faithfully and so fervently for Tenth and for God's continued blessing on the ministry of the church.

I have been excited to see how the Lord has moved in my heart so as to embrace Liam as the right man to be our next Senior Minister at Tenth Presbyterian Church. He is a man of deep theological insight and at the same time one with a real pastor's heart with a passion to preach. He will feed the Tenth flock well. As I read Liam's answers to the questions that we asked him, I found in his answers an unwavering commitment to the authority of Scripture combined with an irenic spirit that seeks to minister the truth of God's word to people's hearts. He was very patient and very gracious in answering many questions with several follow-up inquiries.
