The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) adopted a new plan last week to help the denomination deal with slowed growth and a changing culture, the Christian Post website reports today (July 4, 2010).
Delegates who convened for the PCA's General Assembly in Nashville voted on July 1 to approve the "Strategic Plan."
The plan consists of establishing places for civil conversations to allow for theological reflection as an evangelical confessional church in the 21st century; providing more seats at the table as a means of increasing youth involvement and creating routes for more ethnic minorities as well as women to be heard; and a funding plan to help support denominational services, and participating in God's global mission.
For a number of years, the PCA was one of the fastest growing denominations in America; however, over the last few years, growth has slowed, primarily because the denomination is aging.
