Global Ecumenical Liaisons
Global Ecumenical Liaisons (GELs) serve as bridges between Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and international/U.S. partners, mid councils, new worshiping communities, diaspora communities, ethnic caucuses, ecumenical partners, and mission networks.
What's Changing—and Why
We are building a flexible, relational model that centers context, trust, and mutuality. The goal is to refine a GEP structure that enables the PC(USA) to participate in international and US mission with greater depth, equity, and shared commitment. That means:
- Partnership
- Equity
- Faithful ministry rooted in presence and partnership
- Relational accompaniment
- Continued listening as we build forward
