Work of General Assembly has begun
Heath Rada, a retired ruling elder who served the American Red Cross as CEO of the Greater Richmond chapter and president of the Presbyterian School of Christian Education, was elected moderator of the 221st General Assembly (2014) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on the first ballot. Serving with him as vice moderator will be Larissa Kwong Abazia, Church of Forest Hills, a multicultural, multiethnic congregation in Queens, New York.
Once a moderator is elected, the assembly breaks up into committees to consider particular kinds of business. Each committee is responsible for reporting back to the General Assembly on completed actions or their recommendations. The combined insights of all those on assembly committees become the recommendations to the whole assembly. If they are approved, they guide the church in the years to come. Keep up with news from General Assembly!
