“Presbyterians love elections,” the Rev. Betsy Lyles Swetenburg said in a sermon at Northridge Presbyterian Church in Dallas on Sunday before clarifying that she wasn’t talking about presidential elections. “Our life together as a community of faith is marked by elections,” added Swetenburg, who described how elections, committees and leadership bodies that vote on items of business guide Presbyterian polity and rule “our day-to-day business.”
When many Texas communities were hit hard by winter storms last month, Northridge Presbyterian Church in east Dallas found itself in a position to bless others.
