The Olympia overture now heads to presbyteries following GA for majority approval. Newly elected co-moderators delight the assembly with their custom, symbolic stoles. General Assembly Entity Coordination presents non-consent agenda items to #GA226. The offering number was reduced from four to three and moved to cause-based instead of program-based beneficiaries. To stay at the table or walk away; that was the question. On Tuesday, the assembly approved and then disapproved categorical divestment from the fossil fuel industry, choosing to engage companies instead. The International Engagement Committee hears different perspectives and discerns the church’s response to Christian Zionism. Cecelia Armstrong and Tony Larson are elected and installed as co-moderators of the 226th General Assembly. The Korean churches in the PC(USA) comprise about 330 churches and 40,000 members, making NCKPC the second largest group after the African American or Black Caucus. Service dogs bring delegates comfort and joy at the 226th General Assembly. |
