In the ten years since the September 11 attacks exposed fissures in America’s patchwork quilt of religions, the number of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregations involved in activities with other faiths has increased 50 percent. One-quarter of congregations, up from 16 percent, are now involved.
In this regard, PC(USA) congregations’ activities parallel those of U.S. religious congregations across the faith spectrum. The number of U.S. congregations participating in multifaith activities also doubled in ten years, going from 14 percent in 2000 to 27 percent in 2010.
