LOUISVILLE, Ky.--The ways in which the forms of tentmaking ministry affect 
the theology and practices of congregations and tentmakers will be the 
focus of the Association of Presbyterian Tentmakers (APT) 1996 annual 
conference. 
 
     With the theme "Witnesses to the Word," the APT conference, the 
association's 10th,  will be held Nov. 1-3 at Stony Point Conference Center 
in New York. 
 
     Tentmakers are pastors who serve in ministry while earning their 
livings in secular employment. 
 
     Keynote speaker for the event is the Rev. Houston Hodges, recently 
retired executive for North Alabama Presbytery and currently editor of 
"Monday Morning" magazine. 
 
     The conference will also include conversations with representatives of 
the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Board of Pensions about how the Board's 
retirement and major medical plans apply to tentmakers and with an expert 
in financial planning and management. 
 
     Information about the conference is available from William Dodge, 
conference chair, at 1123 Lexington Ave., Schenectady, NY 12309.  He can 
also be reached by PresbyNet (inbox BILL DODGE) or by Internet mail at
