Drawing from his experience as longtime pastor of Preachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, W. Frank Harrington says that if the church is to flourish in this time, it must return to its primary purpose–the proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humankind. To be successful, proclamation must be rooted in faith, and faith has to be lived out in the real world of need and evil.
W. Frank Harrington was pastor of Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, Georgia, until his death in 1999. He had served at Peachtree for over twenty-five years.
