Bruce Reyes-Chow was the Moderator of the 218th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).[1] Reyes-Chow was elected as Moderator on June 21, 2008 from a field of four candidates. He ended his time as Moderator on July 3, 2010 when his successor, Elder Cynthia Bolbach was elected at the 219th General Assembly[2]. He received 48 percent of the vote on the first ballot and 55 percent of the vote on the second ballot.[3] He is also the pastor of Mission Bay Community Church in San Francisco, California.[1]
Bruce is a technophile. He is a prolific blogger and has a large social networking presence.[4] He believes blogging is a spiritual practice[5] and that technology is absolutely essential to a young church.[3] Leaders in the PC(USA) feel that he understands "the way the world is changing, so he can help us feel less anxious and less resistant to change.”[3]
In March 2009 Bruce also accepted an invitation to become a contributing blogger for City Brights on SFGate, the online publication on the San Francisco Chronicle News Paper. His most recent project is as co-host, with Rev. Carol Howard Merritt, of a weekly podcast, "God Complex Radio."
Current Bruce resides in San Francisco, CA with his wife and three daughters where he pastors the church that he helped to found in 2000, Mission Bay Community Church.
