Yancey speaks to clergy at PLNU’s Pastors Day
An estimated 150 pastors from the greater San Diego area participated recently in the third annual Pastors Day at Point Loma Nazarene University.
Pastors Day provides a means for clergy from multiple denominations to network and fellowship and to be honored for their service.
This year, the event featured notable Christian author Philip Yancey, who spoke at the university’s morning chapel service. Following chapel, the group mingled in the Friendship Plaza before entering Ellipse Chapel, where selected PLNU students presented tributes themed “What My Pastor Means to Me.”
Yancey challenged pastors to seek new ways to make a difference. Yancey’s message was also seen via video simulcast at the Arcadia and Bakersfield regional centers for Nazarene pastors who were unable to make the drive to San Diego.
