Pittsburgh Presbytery Votes on Amendment 08b

Just got back from the special meeting of Presbytery, where the final vote was against affirmation of Amendment 08B to the Presbyterian Book of Order. The proposed amendment, which focused on a person's hearing of a call rather than a person's sexuality, was defeated by a vote of 206 to 105.

All in God's time.....

Send me your email and I'll send you why 08B isn't a good idea.

Thank you for the offer, Duncan, but I did have the opportunity to hear a lot of people express their thoughts on why 08B isn't a good idea. I found -- and continue to find -- the arguments in support of 08B more persuasive. I'm not closed off to hearing both sides of the argument, but am not convinced I haven't already heard both sides rather fully.

Kit, you say "I'm not closed off to hearing both sides of the argument, but am not convinced I haven't already heard both sides rather fully."
If that's not "closed off" I don't know what is - you're saying your mind is made up and there cannot possibly be anything you don't already know.
