A New Way for a New Day:
Moving from Conversation through Challenge towards Change
The Association of Executive Presbyters meeting and the GAMC meeting took place jointly September 18–19, 2007. The theme of this meeting grew out of comments, issues and illumination coming from meetings and events that have brought leaders together from all over the church who are not only asking questions about how faithfully to steer the future of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) but are also seeking significant, God-breathed change.
The goals for this meeting were:
- We hope to build community and connection between MGB personnel and GAMC elected and staff, respecting one another’s call and context of service, recognizing our local strengths and our strength in joint ministry.
- We want to build on some of the foundational work that was done at last year’s meeting in September and at the “Communion and Conversation” event in Albuquerque that arose out of the concerns raised by a number of our MGBs.
- We hope to create learning communities of practice that both ask the right questions before seeking solutions and continue to work together on creative, generative ideas and action for the benefit of the whole church.
- We want folks to leave this meeting with high energy, hope and a sense of momentum towards God’s future being built.
Learn about the small group conversations
A number of topics relating to “A New Way for New Day” have arisen out of discussions groups throughout the church over the last year.
These and other topics were identified and brought to this gathering, where attendees participated in small group conversations, raising and answering questions. The outcomes of these conversations are compiled for your review.
