SpiritOfGA
The 221st General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) was held from June 14 to 21, 2014 at the COBO Center in downtown Detroit, Michigan. This biennial meeting brings together commissioners and advisory delegates from all 172 presbyteries, as well as other delegates and observers from around the world. We begin and end with worship, and in between there are celebrations, deliberations and inspirations for everyone. See the proposed docket.
The top leaders in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) share their thoughts on the business of the 221st General Assembly (2014) in a letter to members, and issue a charge to the full body as it moves forward. Read more (PDF).

Generosity, good stewardship, and smart planning. Those three virtues, says Detroit pastor Sue Melrose, enabled the local host committee for the 221st General Assembly (2014) last summer to end up with a sizeable surplus.
After paying all the bills, the Detroit Committee on Local Arrangements (COLA), which Melrose served as vice moderator, had about $96,000 left over. And now, $22,000 of that amount has been passed on to COLA leaders in Portland, Oregon, to help pay for the 222nd General Assembly (2016).
