Church and Society
Order the video Connecting Diversity in Community: Race, Class, Gender, Religion, a resource of the
Advisory Committee on Social Witness Policy. American society has never been more culturally diverse and rich, yet our communities
are sadly fragmented. People with unique heritages and perspectives live side by side, but seldom interact with each other in any meaningful way. In many communities,
our churches physically occupy the center of the town or neighborhood, but they are not necessarily central to the lives of the people who reside there. As Christians,
many of us are painfully aware of these divisions but have reluctantly accepted them as inevitable. But are they?
In Connecting Diversity in Community you will see congregations and ministries who have made a commitment to the challenging task of breaking down barriers
and unhealthy divisions in their communities. In their own style, each of these groups focused their attention outward to the people and groups around them, contemplated
prayerfully what they heard and saw, and used their faith to make meaningful connections.

The Presbyterian Washington Office Legislative Action Center enhances
Presbyterians’ advocacy efforts and enables us to easily communicate with our elected representatives by email. The icon to the left provides easy access for you to “contact congress.” Entering your zip code brings up a screen
where you can view your senators’ and representative’s picture, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, staff, committee assignments,
voting records, and more.
In addition to elected officials, visitors to the Washington Office website may also locate local and national media contacts in all 50 states.
"Urgent Alerts" from the Presbyterian Washington Office are constantly updated in the urgent alert web feed located at the top right column of this page. Urgent alerts keep you up to date on national issues our Washington Office is addressing and in the hope that you'll have the information you need to get involved too. |
The Social Witness Policy Compilation is your source for information on General Assembly positions concerning social justice issues.
This searchable document is helpful when preparing for a Christian Education class or sermon, preparing a letter to your state or federal
representatives, or to educate yourself on the Presbyterian perspective on social issues from international affairs, war, economic issues,
race, women, health, sexuality, and more.
