Temptations pastors face (5b): denominations

In time I was called by that yoked parish of two churches in Cambria (R0sedale Presbyterian Church) and Pardeeville, Wisconsin (First Presbyterian Church), where I had sent my PIF. After an ordination examination by John Knox Presbytery, I was ordained and installed to serve as their parish pastor on October 23, 1983. We were happy to be there and loved the congregations and ministry. Still, let the reader understand that, as we arrived, the majority of the elders comprising the sessions of these two congregations were women.
