Another<\/em> problem with the new PC(USA) web site: apparently we don’t believe anything anymore<\/a>. Or, if we do, those beliefs are carefully hidden.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m on record as liking<\/a> the new look<\/em> of our denomination’s website. And I’ve already commented<\/a>, negatively, about a particularly smarmy “reasons I’m a Presbyterian” badge posted there.<\/p>\n

But I was hoping the PC(USA) web site would at least be better organized. I entertained the hope that it would be easier to find things there now, and it’s not.<\/p>\n

It’s always been difficult to find anything. The organization is…um<\/em>…let’s say, “obscure.” I got in the habit, whenever I needed to find something there, of using a Google search with inurl:pcusa.org<\/code><\/cite> appended. That’s how I found what we believe.<\/p>\n

But if you follow that link today, it doesn’t go to a web page about what Presbyterians believe. It goes to an advertisement<\/a> for people to buy the dead-trees Presbyterians Today<\/cite> magazine! Apparently there’s a plan to add selected content there<\/a> over time, like this helpful piece about “how to speak Presbyterian<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
