How do diverse cultural perspectives help us have a deeper understanding of what it means to be Presbyterian? Guests Princeton Abaraoha and Danelle McKinney share their perspectives, as an African Immigrant and an Indigenous Native American, in this exploration of the space between cultural identities and Presbyterian identity.
Danelle and Princeton share the challenges but also the commonalities that align to bridge the gap between the two. As we listen to voices within the rich diversity of the PCUSA’s membership, we hope listeners will get a more nuanced understanding of what binds us together as the covenant community of faith.

“This denomination actually wants to hear from me?” That was the pivotal moment when, as a youth advisory delegate in 1995 that guest Kevin Veldhuisen knew he was a PCUSA Presbyterian. "This I where I belong, this is a good place."
An openness to being reformed and hearing from the fullness of the diverse as well as the minority voices within the church's membership and creating space for dialogue and discernment aligns with a stated value of the General Assembly and who we strive to be as PCUSA Presbyterians - that "the gathered church will reflect the transforming love of God, enabling us to discern God’s will together."
