PRESBYTERIANS CALLED
TO RESPOND TO RACISM  
The Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian Church (USA), J. Herbert Nelson, has urged that when it comes to racism, Presbyterians can "no longer hide behind being too controversial" saying that the church is called to "dismantle structures that put people in poverty and pain." The PCUSA Office of Public Witness in Washington, D.C. distributed an "Action Alert" this week to provide a way for Presbyterians to reach out to lawmakers to ask them to address racism in the U.S.
