General Assembly 2012

Online Registration is now open for this year's Convocation of Peacemakers, April 26-29, 2012.

This year's event promises to be the best convocation yet. The event is a day longer than last year, giving us much-needed time to explore our work more deeply and organize our efforts.

The Challenge Before Us:

Immigration questions increasingly impact Presbyterian congregations and ministries throughout our country, that are :

• coping with rising anti-immigrant sentiment fostered by media and political campaigns ,
• dealing with consequences of federal border-enforcement strategy,
• finding that common services provided by our congregations’ ministries – shelter, food programs, access to health services, counseling, transportation – are being declared illegal by anti-immigrant legislation in the states,
