From the Clerk’s Desk
Statement advocating for Somali immigrants in the U.S.
As Clerk of Session of Edgewater Presbyterian Church, I speak out today with profound disappointment and deep concern regarding the recent comments made by President Donald Trump about the Somali American community.
Theology 101: The Church has a very specific definition of ‘hope’
Hope is not about an uncertain outcome. The definition of hope in theology is very different from that.

Lord, thank you for the people you brought together tonight to prepare the way of your coming.
Reformation Day: We’re always reforming
We are not just criticizing the outside; we are changing ourselves and that influences the world around us.
Ask the Elder: Why do Presbyterian churches have numbers as their name?
If you’ve ever wondered why so many Presbyterian churches have numbers in their names, it’s because the tradition reflects both history and growth.
My place in a broken world
Each one of us has a choice to make in how we get involved. Some of us will protest. Some of us will write. Some of us will simply resist by living our lives in spite of our challenge.
Ask the Elder: What is the Presbytery of Chicago?
We learn from one another, collaborate on mission projects, and discern together how to serve God faithfully in our time and place.
The core messages of ‘Dilexi Te’ by Pope Leo XIV belong to us Reformed Christians, too
We take no authority from the bishop of Rome, but when he speaks, we listen and digest for ourselves as Reformed Christians. There is much to learn from Leo’s first official papal letter.

Northside Friends Meeting
Northside Friends Meeting is a congregation of the Religious Society of Friends, popularly known as the Quakers. An historically progressive group of denominations in Christianity, it has long been pacifist, advocated for the abolition of slavery in Great Britain and the United States. They are known to be intensely social justice-oriented.
Friends have two types of meetings: programmed worship and waiting worship. Their worship space is called a meeting house. The New Community House is this congregation’s meeting house.
