Commission on Reconciliation Meetings
The Commission on Reconciliation encourages and facilitates the work of reconciliation by raising awareness and building our congregations’ capacity to engage in their neighborhoods and the world. The Commission embodies the Presbytery’s shared witness to reconciliation through Presbytery partnerships, the Self Development of People program and initiatives that challenge and support congregational leaders in their efforts to dismantle racism, alleviate suffering and bear public witness to the reconciling love of Christ.
