Get the Belhar
Confession study guide
The 218th General Assembly (2008) began the process for
amending the
Book of Confessions by adding to it the
Belhar
Confession. A two-year intensive denomination study is part of the
process. A previous Assembly commended Belhar to the church as a “resource for
reflection, study, and response, as a means of deepening the commitment of the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to dealing with racism and a means of
strengthening its unity, bearing in mind that the Belhar Confession emerged
from the context of racism in South Africa.” Download
