How to reach the editor of The Parish Bench: corrections to the record, additional documents, questions about method.

The Parish Bench is a one-editor desk. The record it reads is the public archive of rpcconnected.org between 2002 and the mid-2010s, together with the documents a congregation of that period published openly.

Corrections to the record

If a card misstates what a page said, a date, a name or a sequence, that is a defect in the measurement and it will be corrected. Write with the archived page or document that shows the difference.

Documents

Church bulletins, newsletters, directories and program pages from the period are the material this bench works from. If you hold such documents and are willing to share them, they can widen what a card is allowed to say.

Not the church

For the congregation itself, its current services, leadership or programs, please look for Reston Presbyterian Church's own present-day site. This desk keeps the record; it does not answer for the institution.
