As part of a church-wide consultation that sought to gain insights and wisdom from the whole denomination about our shared identity and what the church is called to be and do, Presbyterian Research Services developed an online instrument and made it available in the fall and winter of 2015-16.
The theme of the 222nd General Assembly is “Hope in Our Calling.” This report should bring hope. We sent a broad invitation out to the general PC(USA) membership, hoping that some people would respond. We were thrilled that 3,427 Presbyterians responded to this call!
