REPORT ON RACIAL AND ETHNIC RECONCILIATION

REPORT OF THE AD INTERIM COMMITTEE ON RACIAL AND ETHNIC RECONCILIATION TO THE FORTY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN AMERICA

Extract:

Introduction

The 44th General Assembly, in response to a Overture 45 from Potomac
Presbytery, established an ad interim committee to study issues related to
Racial Reconciliation. Our committee had a four-part mandate. First, the
committee was charged to “assess the current situation in the PCA concerning
racial and ethnic reconciliation.” Next, we were to “identify specific problems
the PCA needs to address to promote racial reconciliation and ethnic
diversity.” In addition, the committee was to “develop constructive guidelines
and suggest concrete steps for the use of the PCA, including all presbyteries
and sessions in order to make progress toward the work of racial
reconciliation.” Finally, the committee was to “report to the 45th General
Assembly” (M44GA, p. 84).
