The Currie Enrichment Series Centennial Cross

The Currie Enrichment Series Centennial Cross was designed for our centennial celebration in 1988 by Mike McIntyre, at that time a member of our congregation and V.P. of Marketing at James Avery. The meaning of the symbols are:

• The celtic cross - reflective of the Presbyterian tradition;
• the dove - the Holy Spirit;
• the circle - eternity,
• the nimbus of the descending dove;
• the clasped hands – Christian fellowship, benevolence, love, friendship, spurring one another on; the hearts - Christian love;
• the shell - the living waters of Christ, Holy Baptism.

Tony is known for challenging Christians by illustrating how their faith can offer solutions in a world of complexity.  He believes Christianity should have two emphases:  to impact society with the values of the kingdom of God and to bring people into a personal, transforming relationship with Christ.

Tony's home is near Philadelphia where he lives with his wife, Peggy.  They have two grown children and four grandchildren.

Follow the lectures on April 1 and 2 and you will be able to meet Tony in Ryan Hall.  He has written 38 books.  Signed copies will be available.  He will also deliver the sermon on Sunday, April 3 at 11:00 a.m.  We look forward to having you attend the Enrichment Series and listening to this dynamic man who will help us follow Christ in an increasingly diverse world.

History of the Currie Enrichment Series

In November 1988, the session of the First Presbyterian Church of Kerrville passed a motion that monies given to the Centennial Celebration could be used for an on-going teaching of the scripture series in our church for our congregation and the Kerrville Community.  The name of the series was changed in 2007 to the Currie Enrichment Series, to honor past Pastor Thomas W. Currie, III. This year we celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the series.

Participants have included noted writers, biblical scholars, ethicists, psychologists and preachers.
