Life Abundant: Values, Choices and Health Care
The 200th General Assembly (1988) adopted the revolutionary and far-reaching
policy statement reprinted in volume, Life Abundant: Values, Choices and Health
Care — The Responsibility and Role of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
Almost fifteen years have passed between the adoption of this wonderfully
comprehensive policy and the current reprinting. Yet, this statement remains
a relevant and enduring expression of the basic values of compassion, caring
love, community wholeness, well-being, and justice that we hold to be fundamental
in understanding and addressing health issues. It continues as a valid policy
and timely guide to understanding and responding for the agencies, governing
bodies, and people of the church.
