This volume considers three issues in the Presbyterian Church
that have proved to be perplexing to the witness of faith:
outreach, ecumenism, and pluralism. The first four essays
illustrate that troubling questions about the church's witness
arose in this century and divided Presbyterian opinion in the midst
of American social problems. Thus, verbal and physical outreach
became competing priorities. The final five essays examine
racial/ethnic Presbyterian experiences. Examples of the
interlocking and sometimes interfering interplay of outreach,
ecumenism, and pluralism in the quest for distinctive Presbyterian
discipleship are discussed.
Through its examination of American Presbyterianism, the
"Presbyterian Presence" series illuminates patterns of change in
mainstream Protestantism and American religious and cultural life
in the twentieth century.
