    Presbyterian College Brings Fifteen to GA for Educational Experiences 
 
    by Bill Lancaster 
 
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C., brought 11 students 
and four recent graduates to the 210th General Assembly for one of three 
educational experiences.  Seven are serving as Youth Advisory 
Delegates(YADs), three are enrolled in Jack Rogers' class on 
"Presbyterianism--Principles and Practice," four are participating in the 
Association of Presbyterian Church Educators (APCE) certification course on 
polity, and one is current co-moderator of the Presbyterian Youth 
Connection. 
    Nine of the fifteen are participants in Celtic Cross, a church 
leadership development program at the college co-sponsored by First 
Presbyterian Church in Spartanburg, S.C.  Celtic Cross' objective is to 
challenge the college's most outstanding Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) 
students to consider ministry as vocation.  Forty-six students were 
enrolled in Celtic Cross during the last academic year. 
    At the 209th General Assembly (1997) in Syracuse, N.Y., seven Celtic 
Cross students were YADs and two were participants in the course on 
Presbyterianism. 
    Accompanying this year's group are Bob Smith, director of Celtic Cross 
and director of church relations, and Peter Hobbie, chair of the Department 
of Religion.
