If PCUSA has 10k congregations, how can 34k churches cut their ties with them?

Not sure, but these 34K Black churches are actually not PC-USA, but are in some sort of interfaith partnership or coalition with them. It's this coalition they're ditching.
If I am mistaken about this, I would appreciate somebody correcting me.

Correction on myself: the National Black Churches Initiative is a church-related civil rights group with offices in Washington, DC. Their 34K member churches fund them to do political lobbying. It's this group which has broken with PC-USA.

Any more details would be welcome.

The 34K churches are not Presbyterian, but a fellowship of black churches. They will not be in fellowship with the 10K PCUSA. Our church intends to make it 9,999 PCUSA churches.
