INTERVIEW WITH DENNIS DAY
Mr. Dennis Day, who served as Moderator for the event which celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr., speaks passionately about racial equality and the need for "Pan-Africanism." He claims that King is a role model for Christians.

THE PCA'S 'FLAGSHIP' IN NEW YORK CITY
Since its founding in 1989, Redeemer Presbyterian Church has enjoyed phenomenal growth. Under the leadership of Pastor Tim Keller, the congregation has consciously sought to contextualize its ministry to the culture of the "Big Apple." The church has employed women in various roles in worship (taking up the offering, reading Scripture, etc.). It has also deliberately incorporated unbelievers as musicians in its worship. The church has also been in the forefront of the move to establish a new New York City Metro Presbytery. According to the "Proposed Statement of Purpose," among the "theological convictions [which] strongly inform us as we unite to form a presbytery" is the following: "The Reformed understanding of the gospel prevents us from falling into either legalism or license, into either a traditional conservatism or a naive liberalism."
