Presbyterians for Earth Care - You are Invited to Testify at General Assembly 🌎

Update on PEC Overtures to

226th General Assembly

Salt Lake City, UT


WE NEED YOUR HELP:


We encourage all of you to testify in the open hearings. These Public Hearings are an opportunity for those who do not otherwise have access to a committee's deliberations to share information and perspectives. Public Hearings are therefore open to anyone regardless of membership in the Presbyterian Church.


Since committees will occur via Zoom, Public Hearings for the 226th General Assembly provide an opportunity for people to address committees in real-time from any location by using an Internet-connected device capable of providing both audio and video.


The deadlines to sign up for public hearings are:

  • June 24, 2024, Noon (MDT)

    All items of business (other than Commissioners’ Resolutions)

  • June 26, 2024, 5:00 p.m. (MDT)

    Commissioners’ Resolutions


For more information, visit: https://ga-pcusa.org/public-hearings/


(Note: All times are Mountain Daylight Time)


Tuesday June 25 11:00-11:30 a.m. MDT Open Hearing for all DOE overtures

Tuesday June 25 12:30-1:00 p.m. MDT ENV-03 Open Hearing
