El 27 de mayo del 1958, el pueblo presbiteriano se reunió en Pittsburgh para la 170ª Asamblea General de la Iglesia Presbiteriana en los Estados Unidos de América. A pocas millas de distancia, la Iglesia Presbiteriana Unida de América del Norte estaba celebrando su centenario durante su 100ª Asamblea General.

1958년 5월 27일, 장로교인들은 미국장로교 제170회 총회를 위해 피츠버그에 모였다. 불과 몇 마일 떨어진 곳에서, 북미 연합 장로교는 제100회 총회를 기념하고 있었다.  

The Committee on Mid Councils at the 225th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) spent the majority of its first day considering a trio of overtures that spoke directly to an issue raised at Sunday’s Juneteenth Service.   

Como si tomaran su ejemplo del pájaro Sankofa, el símbolo aviar adoptado por los Co-Moderadores de la AG 224 (2022) que vuela hacia adelante mientras se extiende hacia atrás, los miembros del Comité de Teología, Adoración y Educación (TWE) se embarcaron en su trabajo con la reparación de los daños históricos y la integridad y salud futuras de la IP (EE. UU.) en mente. 

루이빌 – 산코파 새, 즉 제 224회 총회(2020)의 공동총회장들이 채택한 상징 새는 뒤를 돌아보면서 앞으로 날아간다. 이 새처럼 '신학 예배 교육' 위원회의 위원들은 역사적 폐해를 회복시키면서, 동시에 미국장로교의 미래의 온전함을 염두에 두고 있다. 

As if taking their cue from the Sankofa bird — the avian symbol adopted by the Co-Moderators of the 224th GA (2020) that flies forward while reaching back — members of the Theology, Worship and Education (TWE) Committee embarked upon their work with the repair of historic harms and the PC(USA)’s future wholeness and health squarely in mind. 

The Polity Committee is tasked with reviewing proposed changes to the Book of Order. That was understood by the committee’s advisory delegates and commissioners going into Monday’s meeting. 

On Monday the Rules of Discipline Committee turned down a recommendation by the Survivors of Sexual Misconduct Task Force but approved five other items, including one that will allow judicial processes to proceed against a person in ordered ministry who has renounced the jurisdiction of the church. 

Deadlines. We all face them, although not many of us are faced with as many deadlines as Kate Trigger Duffert.
