Presbyterians Against Domestic Violence Network (PADVN), one of the 10 networks of the Presbyterian Health, Education and Welfare Association (PHEWA), urges Presbyterians to be agents of healing by collaborating with our community allies in ending the violence. The church, bringing a faith perspective to this collaboration, has a unique voice in this effort. We offer here worship and awareness resources to assist in your own observances, in October and throughout the year.
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. —2 Corinthians 5:18 As followers of Christ, we honor and celebrate the image of God in all people. As Presbyterians, we are called to open spaces in our hearts, families, communities, and churches to promote healing and reconciliation for those most at risk and marginalized. As children of God, we recognize that remaining silent about sexual violence is no longer an option.

“Feed my sheep . . . ” Presbyterian Women make it their business to feed and tend Jesus’ sheep. This report highlights some of PW's work in the world (tending Christ’s sheep) during the 2012–2015 triennium. But this report just hints at the abundance PW has shared during those 1,095 days. After you see what PW has accomplished nationally, find a PW group in your congregation, presbytery or synod and add your gifts!
