			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Another</em> problem with the new PC(USA) web site: apparently <a href="http://www.pcusa.org/today/believe/believe.htm">we don&#8217;t believe anything anymore</a>. Or, if we do, those beliefs are carefully hidden.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m on record as <a href="http://www.messofpottage.com/blog/2010/07/new-pcusa-site/">liking</a> the new <em>look</em> of our denomination&#8217;s website. And I&#8217;ve already <a href="http://www.messofpottage.com/blog/2010/07/checking-our-heads/">commented</a>, negatively, about a particularly smarmy &#8220;reasons I&#8217;m a Presbyterian&#8221; badge posted there.</p>
<p>But I was hoping the PC(USA) web site would at least be better organized. I entertained the hope that it would be easier to find things there now, and it&#8217;s not.</p>
<p><span id="more-275"></span>It&#8217;s always been difficult to find anything. The organization is&#8230;<em>um</em>&#8230;let&#8217;s say, &#8220;obscure.&#8221; I got in the habit, whenever I needed to find something there, of using a Google search with <cite><code>inurl:pcusa.org</code></cite> appended. That&#8217;s how I found what we believe.</p>
<p>But if you follow that link today, it doesn&#8217;t go to a web page about what Presbyterians believe. It goes to an <a href="http://gamc.pcusa.org/ministries/today/">advertisement</a> for people to buy the dead-trees <cite>Presbyterians Today</cite> magazine! Apparently there&#8217;s a plan to <a href="http://gamc.pcusa.org/ministries/today/what-presbyterians-believe/">add selected content there</a> over time, like this helpful piece about &#8220;<a href="http://gamc.pcusa.org/ministries/today/how-speak-presbyterian/">how to speak Presbyterian</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dead trees&#8211;I kid you not! In 2010! GAMC <strong>FAIL.</strong> Sigh.</p>
