Presbyterian network takes aim at homelessness around the globe

According to an August report by the Presbyterian Network to End Homelessness and the Presbyterian Office of Public Witness there will be a joint program created to focus upon homelessness, in accordance with legislation adopted during the 218th General Assembly.

Recent studies have reportedly revealed that homelessness is not an issue that is solely found in urban areas, but also in suburban and rural areas as well. Accordingly, PNTEH is dedicating itself to bolstering Presbyterian churches in the mission of easing homelessness on a worldwide level.

The New York Theological Seminary is an institution dedicated to multiculturalism, diversity, social justice and religious tolerance. The mission of the seminary is to prepare men and women, from every background, for careers in ministry.

Homeless pancake breakfast averts court

A case where a pancake breakfast goes to court was averted recently, when CrossRoads United Methodist Church, in Phoenix, Ariz., reached an agreement with the city regarding the church's Saturday pancake breakfast for the homeless.

One part of the agreement between the two formerly feuding factions involved feeding homeless people in the church, as opposed to outside of it on the grounds.
