Host a visit from Louisville to where you are

Staff persons in the offices of the General Assembly and the General Assembly Council with primary responsibility for ecumenical and interfaith relations are visiting presbyteries throughout the country to learn, provide support, and identify people who are now or may be become ecumenical or interfaith enablers. If your presbytery is interested, send an e-mail or telephone one of the staff. For information on them, see the Contact Us page on this web site.

Plan to gather with others

Plans are underway for special activities sponsored by the Presbyterian network at the National Workshop on Christian Unity (NWCU) in Phoenix, Arizona on April 27-29, 2009. These include a seminar on the theological basis for our Presbyterian engagement in ecumenical relationships, another that will look at the theological basis for Presbyterian interfaith activity, and a breakfast to which the network will invite local presbytery leadership and pastors. Plan to attend the NWCU and to be part of these special events.
