Comfort My People: A Policy Statement on Serious Mental Illness

0205209003

This policy approved by the 218th General Assembly (2008) is the first major serious mental illness statement approved by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This report uses the biblical theme of exile to describe the challenges experienced by persons living with a serious mental illness. The first theme, "The Land of Exile," describes the difficult challenges people living with a serious mental illness face far too often, such as a feeling that they do not belong or are not welcomed in the church. The second theme , "God's Call to Comfort," describes appropriate ways congregations can minister to and with people living with a serious mental illness and their loved ones, and/or other primary caregivers, such as providing a space for a support group for this people of God. This report affirms that, although we, the members of the Body of Christ, cannot discern why there is suffering in God's good and lovely creation, the church can proclaim that no aspect of serious mental illness can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God's Work in Women's Hands: Pay Equity and Just Compensation

0205208004

This resolution, approved by the 218th General Assembly (2008), explores equal pay for comparable work concerns. What factors contribute to women's earning 78 percent of what men make, even in the church? This carefully researched report analyzes differences in education, skills and experience as well as gender and racial discrimination to back its recommendations for implementing equal pay for comparable work. Recognizing that "the new reality in Christ" should be reflected in the quality of the church's common life and witness," this resolution encourages all Presbyterians to uncover and correct unjustified pay disparities.
