"Response to the launching of the Covenant Network has been gratifying and widespread. At the convening gathering in Chicago in mid-September, we discovered how widely shared is our prayer that we in the Presbyterian Church (USA) may find a way to stay together through these turbulent times, in witness to the oneness of our Jesus Christ."

John M. Buchanan and Robert W. BohlAvailable online through the digital archives at the Presbyterian Historical Society, this newsletter describes CNP's mission and speaks to how the church's acceptance of sexual minorities impacts the church's witness and evangelism.Against "polarizing forces" and the further division of the church, Bohl and Buchanan encourage a reclamation of the Reformed tradition, exercising "mutual forbearance" in times of disagreement as recommended by the Book of Order.Despite the great work accomplished in the last 25 years of the Covenant Network, our latest editions of the newsletter point to the continued work ahead.
