ETHNIC CHURCHES AND RESOURCES

PCUSA is committed to further diversity in leadership overall church membership.  “In Christ, by the power of the Spirit, God unites persons through baptism regardless of race, ethnicity, age, sex, disability, geography, or theological conviction.” (F-1.0403) We have long practiced equal representation of laity (Ruling Elders) and clergy (Teaching Elder) as a fundamental principle.  Women’s representation has also largely grown over the decades, particularly as we have advocated for women’s pastoral and lay leadership on the basis of theology.  Along with the above, we must continue to exert our efforts to the matter of fair representation for people of color.
