Book Description

Called to Covenant is the result of church-wide consultation into strengthening the relationships between congregations and presbyteries. It examines the covenants that form our identity: the covenant that God has initiated with us in Christ and that places us in covenant relationships with one another. On this foundation, it explores three areas where congregations and presbyteries are most intimately involved: regular pastoral oversight of congregatinos and ministers by presbyteries, planning of congregational ministries, and crisis intervention by presbyteries. The separate resource book provides practical tools for congregations and presbyteries to use and adapt, as they seek to broaden their understanding and strengthen their support of one another's ministries.
