Ping to the state list.
I have very warm feelings toward Briarwood. For a time, they were financial supporters of ours. They have a long history of evangelism, both in their neighborhood, and extending even to the jungles of Papua, Indonesia.
If one is disgusted by some liberal protestant churches including Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) one only has to look at the Briarwood Presbyterian Church of America (PCA) and its brethren to see a conservative contrast.
In fact the assembly to spin off the conservative PCA church was held at Briarwood Church in 1973.
It used to be about as good as there was when Frank Barker was there. Don Patterson then Jim Baird at FPC Jackson, James Montgomery Boice at 10th in Philly (although they did have Deaconesses), Kennedy at Coral Ridge; Randy Pope in Atlanta. Folks who were not only pastors and preachers, but who had a global impact in that generation.
