News from Pittsburgh Presbytery

Advocates of unity and accountability are locking horns these days in the halls of Congress. Why do we advocate more for unity at certain times and more for accountability at others? How do we deal with this challenge in the church, as people of faith? In this week’s meditation, Unity and Accountability, Rev. Dr. Sheldon W. Sorge discusses these questions and more.
On Wednesday, February 24, 2021, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Dr. David Campt will tackle how to use practical dialogue to dismantle unintended bias and racism with “The White Ally Toolkit” to create a compassionate and welcoming space where love is the driving force of belonging. Registration is open now for the free “White Ally in the 21st Century-Practices Toward the Beloved Community” workshop. We hope you will join us!
