The church from a doorkeeper’s perspective

Posted July 26th, 2021

Psalm 84 contains at least one oft-quoted line: “I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tents of wickedness.” The Rev. Keatan King figured she’d show, rather than tell, a crowd of 1,000 or so people attending closing worship during the first-ever online national gathering of the Association of Presbyterian Church Educators. Her sermon, “Hope,” took APCEans from station to station inside the church she serves, St. Philip Presbyterian Church in Houston, from the perspective of a doorkeeper.
