Presbyterians yearn to join in partnership with the global church, coming together as one body in Christ. It is in the spirit of partnership with our brothers and sisters in other places that the PC(USA), through an action of the 212th General Assembly in 2000, encouraged congregations, presbyteries, synods and other church bodies to “do mission in partnership.” Presbyterian World Mission's international partnership manual helps Presbyterians better understand "mission in partnership" and provides advice for establishing and maintaining a mission partnership.
