Understanding Kin-dom

During Presbyterian Women’s 2021 Business Meeting, voting representatives will consider changing the word “kingdom” to “kin-dom” in the PW Purpose. A number of resources inform the discussion and voting:

• “Bible study at GA223 will explore ‘kin-dom’ versus ‘kingdom'” (article from Presbyterian News Service)
• “Praying with Jesus: A Revolutionary Manifesto for All Time” (Horizons article written by Magdalena I. Garcia)
• Our History of Patriarchy: What’s Faith Got to Do With It? (a 4-minute video)
• Well-Chosen Words (a brochure on inclusive and expansive language created by Racial Ethnic and Women’s Ministries in partnership with with the Advocacy Committee on Women’s Concerns and PW)
