The Office of the General Assembly has had an increase in the number of inquiries about printed materials from outside of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), being distributed within congregations, that ascribe to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) beliefs and standards which are meant to show that the church is no longer worthy of support. Over the past years the list of these misrepresentations have varied little and most have been answered in detail in the religious press, study papers adopted by the church or by specific action of the General Assembly. Whenever possible, the Office of the General Assembly directs those who inquire about specific conclusions drawn by these papers to resources which give a broader understanding of the issues.
Typically the materials being circulated focus on four broad areas of concern, each of which speaks to the core of who we are as a denomination and a covenant community. In response to these recent inquiries, we remind the church about who the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is both historically and in our current ministry.

The upcoming 10th Assembly of the World Council of Churches will be held in Busan, South Korea October 30- November 8, 2013. It will be more inclusive and welcoming of the wider ecumenical movement than before. And it will be planned and carried out in a spirit of madang (the traditional Korean “courtyard” connecting different parts of a house), inviting participants into a common space of discussion and celebration. You are cordially invited to join other faithful pilgrims in this historic event for Christian fellowship. I will be coordinating a special Visitors’ Program for PCUSA members.
