CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH: Setting the stage for gender equality

Central Presbyterian Church issued the following announcement on Mar. 12.

The Rev. Dr. Diane Moffett addresses #CSW66 delegates

A Presbyterian delegation that will be taking part in a United Nations gathering on gender equality and environmental issues met online Friday for a virtual kickoff that included remarks by the Rev. Dr. Diane Moffett, president and executive director of the Presbyterian Mission Agency.

The delegation from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and Presbyterian Women also heard from Sue Rheem of the Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations. She along with others will accompany delegates as they participate online in the 66th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (#CSW66), a hybrid event, from March 14-25.

Before the pandemic, thousands of people, including PC(USA) delegates, would gather at the UN headquarters in New York for CSW. But even without that in-person experience, Presbyterians have been able to maintain a cohesive delegation to take part in CSW and related events, from educational sessions to worship services.
