Three Stories of Reconciliation in the World

"What does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8." The World Communion Offering logo and different colored hands holding up the globe.

Stories of Reconciliation Supported by the World Communion Offering

The World Communion Offering supports reconciliation work locally and around the globe. Micah 6:8 tells us to love kindness. See how the World Communion Offering is putting that into action.

Philile Dlamini is a young adult determined to change the world. Walter Mack is someone trying to make his home community a better place. The Rev. Justin Meyers is forging new relationships through ecumenical partnerships. All three of these people have incredible stories of reconciling work in the world.

Ending Gun Violence by Supporting the World Communion Offering

The World Communion Offering Supports Ending Gun Violence


The World Communion Offering supports reconciliation efforts such as racial justice, gender justice, peacemaking, global witness, ecumenical and interfaith relations. One of the ministries that falls under this umbrella is the commitment by the PC(USA) to End Gun Violence.

The PC(USA) urges congregations to take action of their own to end gun violence, such as promoting secure gun storage, taking part in the Guns to Gardens initiative, or praying for the emotional, mental, and spiritual health of children growing up in an era rife with gun violence.

The Office of Public Witness created a prayerbook on ending gun violence. You can learn more about this prayerbook How Long, Oh Lord on the PC(USA) Store.
The impact we have when we all do a little can add up to a lot through the World Communion Offering.
Thank you for generously supporting the World Communion Offering.

World Communion Offering Cultivating Forms of Reconciliation

Causes Supported by the World Communion Offering


The World Communion Offering supports five cause areas that cultivate reconciliation around God’s Table of Grace. You can read more about the specifics of this work in our Leader’s Guide and by clicking the links below. 

Racial Justice


Presbyterians have long worked for racial justice in the world by partnering in mission work like Project 180. This project celebrates the coming 180th anniversary of Liberia’s independence from the American Colonization Society, which you can read more about on page six of the Leader’s Guide.

Gender Justice


The PC(USA) holds itself accountable to its commitments to actively work against sexism and for gender justice, partnering in events like the National Queer Gathering and the Commission on the Status of Women.

Peacemaking


The way to peace includes helping to clarify the moral and ethical issues at stake in public policy. The Office of Public Witness supports projects like the Decade to End Gun Violence, focused on preventing illegal guns from getting into the wrong hands.

Global Witness


Global Ecumenical Partnerships connects, equips, and accompanies people in shared work and witness for God's work in the world. Global Ecumenical Liaisons prioritize locally discerned, partner-led initiatives, ensuring that shared witness follows relationships and that local wisdom guides decision-making, like this one in the Middle East. 

Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations


Supporting ministry around the world with other denominations and ecumenical partners is part of the PC(USA)’s identity. This includes articulating Reformed and Presbyterian identity in the midst of the church’s ecumenical commitments and providing guidance for the church’s conversations with non-Christian religious traditions.
