Faith Resources

We have all heard about the dangers of the World Wide Web, but sometimes we do not hear enough about the good things that are available! There are many online aides to faith development and learning. Here are some that you might want to explore.
Devotions.net
This site is great for finding passages from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Regarded, by scholars, as the most accurate and up-to-date translation of the Bible, the NRSV is not included in many other "Bible" sites.
Bible.Crosswalk.com
This web site has great tools for the study of scripture including various translations, both a Greek and Hebrew interlinear, commentaries and more. For those of you who want to dig deeper into God's word, this site could be very valuable!
BibleGateway.com
A useful site that provides users the ability to search various online versions of the Bible.
PCUSA.org
Our denomination's official web site. There is a wealth of information here that rewards browsing, such as:
Presbyterian Beliefs and Practices
Presbyterian History
Presbyterian Constitution — Our governing documents, the Book of Confessions and the Book of Order.
Directory of PCUSA Congregations — See membership and financial statistics for all reporting PCUSA congregations, including CAPC.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance — How are we helping and where; what can you do?

Other sites for exploring questions of faith

Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason on PBS
Journalist and seminary graduate Bill Moyers addresses timeless and complex topics that often become challenges in our own faith journey.
ExploreFaith.org
An uncommon online community of faith committed to ongoing spiritual formation for people of all ages and backgrounds. Take a look at some of the devotions of the day or read about spirituality in other faith traditions. Writings on life issues such as forgiveness, parenting, or grief may be useful in your journey, as well.
Religion Facts
This web site gives you the facts and figures on the PCUSA and other religions and denominations. For those of you who like the numbers or want to compare religious traditions, this chart and other materials may be helpful.
