I recently heard a speaker who was lamenting the times we live in and suggesting that we rediscover places of civility, mutuality and community — places that exist for the common good like, for instance, our churches. I let an “Amen” loose when I heard it because the suggestion seemed so sensible and right. This year marks the 40th year of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Commitment to Peacemaking, a commitment made by so many of our congregations and worshiping communities to be just these types of places. In word and action, through worship, study and prayer, within our households and in the public square, Presbyterians don’t only envision a world that is more peaceable and just, we enact it together. |

Spreading the Vision of Matthew 25 across the Church |
The PC(USA) believes that we are called to serve Jesus by contributing to the well-being of the most vulnerable in all societies – rural and urban, small and large, young and not-so-young. From affordable housing to community gardens to equitable educational and employment opportunities to healing from addiction and mental illness to enacting policy change – there is not just one way to be a part of the Matthew 25 movement. |
