Rev. Parker Williamson (Union Seminary, M.Div.; Yale Divinity School M.A.), is the author of four books including Standing Firm: Reclaiming Christian Faith in Times of Controversy.  Williamson is a conservative and evangelical church leader with a pastor’s heart.  He has responded strategically and eloquently to theological crises in the American Church stemming from liberalism on many fronts.  As an evangelical reformed leader in the renewal movement within the Presbyterian Church (USA) many Presbyterians have sought out and rallied behind Williamson’s leadership in standing firm in the face of theological aberrances.  He continually provides a vision and voice for church leaders confronting liberalism: from the Sophia movement (goddess worship); to the multitude of liberation theology movements that have used church funding for radical groups that preach and practice violence; and the New Age movements within the denomination; to misuse of money intended to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
