Conversation with PCUSA Moderator Rada
2016-03-12 10:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Collegiate Presbyterian Church, 159 N. Sheldon Avenue, Ames, IA, 50014, United States
This invitation is extended on behalf of Moderator Heath Rada to participate in
a conversation lead by Moderator Rada
on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at
Collegiate Presbyterian Church,
159 N. Sheldon Avenue, Ames
beginning at 10:00 a.m.
The goal for this gathering:
“In these series of conversations around the country, designed to engender broad participation, groups are encouraged to develop an inspirational and aspirational statement of their best hopes and dreams for our denomination, along with ideas that point the way those hopes might be realized.”
The Reason:
The 2016 General Assembly in Portland, Oregon will be addressing questions about the way forward for our church, and the hope is to collect as much raw material from as many members and groups in advance to jump-start their discussions of discernment. These community conversations provide additional input, supplementing the information gathered by the Committee of the Office of the General Assembly (COGA).
This is open to all, however Moderator Rada is hoping this gathering will draw responses especially from small churches.
Participants are encouraged to access a copy of the Moderator’s Call to the Church, which can be downloaded from the PC(USA) website at the following address:
