An action of the 220th General Assembly (2012) created a special committee to review the overall preparation for ministry and the role of the ordination exams within it. The committee's recommendations will be presented to the 221st General Assembly (2014) for action.

This four-week devotional is designed with an in-depth reflection on Day One of each week to introduce each topic, with Days Two through Seven featuring centering quotations, questions and opportunities for contemplation. On Day Four of every week, a short story will help you or your small group reflect on how the subject of advocacy touches your own lives. This resource will use the Bible, our Confessions and Presbyterian writings alongside resources from beyond our denomination to help us think about how God is calling us into action and reflection today.
For me it has always been a major meeting of that denominational body that capsulizes the quality, the flavor, the collective personality of that group. And I thought that if I’m going to support PC(USA) students here at Louisville Seminary I’ve got to go to THE meeting that says, ‘this is who we are, this is what we are about, this is what we struggle with, here are the key issues that we allot to us, here is how we argue, here is how we debate, this is how we think hard about important issues that deeply affect us’.
Since its inception in 1999, Huerto de la Familia (translation: The Family Garden) has served more than 100 families throughout the Willamette Valley in Western Oregon.
Through your gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing, the Presbyterian Hunger Program has been able to partner with Huerto de la Familia and similar organizations that are strengthening communities across the country by providing the opportunity to produce and share healthy food.

This brief resource was developed as a guide for congregations who might like to host a "Bike there! Bus there! Rideshare!" Sunday, often known as an Alternative Transportation Sunday. Churches choose a day like this to lift up community, health, caring for God's creation, and personal lifestyle commitments. Saving energy and carbon emissions is a huge benefit of this event. Just as important are the fun and community-building that a congregation can have with such a day/week/month!

The Community Transformation Award is given to congregations or worshiping communities that, either through ecumenical or interfaith community ministry, or through a special project of the congregation/worshiping community, have been faithful and creative in ministry to and with the community. The award is presented by PHEWA's Presbyterian Association for Community Transformation (PACT).
Congratulations to Downtown Presbyterian Church of Nashville, Tennessee for receiving this award in June 2012.
