APC is facing many challenges and growing pains these days. Those of us on the Theological and Social Concerns Committee want to extend our deliberations across the Association and be able to consider significant issues throughout the year.

• read about current TSCC issues,
• comment on them, and
• alert the committee to other important issues that you would have us address.
