LOUISVILLE — A new
Web site was launched today that is designed specifically for
middle governing bodies of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
“MGB Connect”
offers an A-to-Z listing of models and practices that middle governing
bodies (MGB)— synods and presbyteries — have found
useful in their work and ministries.
Visitors also will find information on such topics as stewardship,
congregational life, clergy, governance, preparation for ministry,
and much more.
“Every elected member of a presbytery or synod committee
and all middle governing body staff will want to have ‘MGB
Connect’ on their computers as a preferred site,”
said Gary Torrens, the PC(USA)’s coordinator for MGB relations.
“This new site provides resources for much of what folks
are doing — or want to do — in presbyteries and synods.
Hopefully it will make their work easier.”
Angela Lucear, a senior administrative assistant in Torrens’
office who will manage the site, said it will specialize in program
models and policies successfully employed by presbyteries, synods
and General Assembly entities.
To find out more about the site and how to submit materials,
contact Lucear by telephone at (888) 728-7228, ext. 5428, or by
email at alucear@ctr.pcusa.org.
