Your Church and Bitcoin

If you’re not a Bitcoiner but you’re curious how Bitcoin could help your church — or you have a Bitcoiner in your congregation who wants to donate it — this series is for you. Jim McAndrew, a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church in America, shares what he’s learned to help you understand Bitcoin, and the Bitcoiners in your midst, in light of Scripture and Christian theology.
