| Press Release – March 6, 2008
 Representatives of various progressive Presbyterian advocacy groups, assisted by the Carpenter Foundation and Plowshares Institute, met last weekend at Stony Point Conference Center in Stony Point , New York, to inform and support each of the various groups in their work towards a more inclusive Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Through discussion and collaboration, the representatives agreed that it is important for all of the groups to continue to educate and inform the members of the PC(USA) of our hope for a church that will eliminate the barriers to full participation by all people to ordained service in our church and Jesus Christ. Each group brings with it a different approach and a diverse membership, but our unity lies in our vision of a welcoming and inclusive church.
The upcoming General Assembly in San Jose will offer commissioners the opportunity to make significant strides in that direction and it's the hope of each group to offer a variety of resources, both individually and collectively, that will aid the commissioners in sharing our vision.
