Groups seek wider embrace of ‘Dallas Covenant’
[6-14-08]

From Presbyterian News Service  — Commissioners to the 218th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), June 21-28 in San Jose, CA, will be asked to commend to all Presbyterians a groundbreaking invitation to cooperate and collaborate more effectively as global outreach efforts grow and proliferate.

The proposal — “An Invitation to Expanding Partnership in God’s Mission” — came out of an unprecedented worldwide mission consultation held in Dallas in January of this year that brought together 64 diverse mission leaders representing denominational and other mission organizations related to the PC(USA).

1.  We want to share our concerns and views with commissioners and others attending the Assembly, and with anyone else who is watching from afar.  While some of our groups focus on one area of concern and others are more general in their focus, we are all committed to the wholeness of our world, which we understand to involve justice and peace and the well-being of all people; and we are committed to the wholeness and health of our Church and its witness and service in the world.

2.  We want to get to know you better and serve your concerns and needs in any way we can.  So we will invite you to share your views with us and with one another with any email responses or questions.  We'll invite your responses with links here and there, and we'll try to post those that seem to contribute to our conversations.  Just send a note now, and tell us how we can be helpful!
