Introducing a new churchwide study series!

The Rev. Marta Pumroy-Cordero and the Rev. Dr. Kristopher D. Schondelmeyer, PCUSA Co-Moderators of the General Assembly, will host a series of three webinars on Fridays throughout October, offering an in-depth look at the PC(USA)'s Social Witness Policy.

"Why 'Presbyterian' Will Never Be a Political Party: A Churchwide Study Series" will be divided into 3 sessions:
Session 1: Religious Liberty — Oct. 2 at 1 p.m. (EDT)
Session 2: State and Citizen: Their Mutual Responsibility — Oct. 16 at 1 p.m. (EDT)
Session 3: The Church’s Role in Civil Society — Oct. 30 at 1 p.m. (EDT)

Each session will feature different guests from across the PC(USA) who will join the Co-Moderators in reflecting and expanding on each of these three topics.
