This year the United States marks the 250th anniversary of its Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Many church leaders are wondering how (or whether) to acknowledge this occasion in worship without promoting Christian nationalism, a political ideology that confuses and conflates Christian identity with national identity. "Call to Worship" has gathered resources and guidelines for planners and leaders of worship who seek to offer an alternate, corrective approach on July 5.

"Since at least World War II, the PC(USA)’s approach to global mission has been continuously evolving beyond the former practice of sending 'the West to the rest.'"

When the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) replaced the title of “missionary” with “mission co-worker” decades ago, it signaled a theological shift that had been taking shape since after World War II: The denomination was no longer primarily a sender but a partner.
