PC(USA) Doesn't Want to Evangelize Committed Polytheists
The presbytery of Utah had the following to say regarding reaching out to Mormons. And, yes, Mormons are polytheists.
Reach out to those "who have no church home or affiliation and to show them the saving grace and love of Jesus Christ. But to those trapped in a polytheistic false religion, good luck! No gospel for you!
That may be a little harsh. I'm not sure how much gospel those unaffiliated Utahans will get in the PC(USA).

. Because the presbytery is in the shadow of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, members know that living in that shadow allows them to display their faith distinctively. The twin initiatives of new church development and church growth are aimed at reaching those in the community who have become agnostic in their faith or who have never displayed any faith at all. The presbytery hopes to reach out to the 50 percent of Utahans who have no church home or affiliation and to show them the saving grace and love of Jesus Christ. Many of the congregations of the presbytery have embraced contemporary worship and music. These are indeed the new songs that are being sung to the Lord, songs that will reach out to younger generations.
