The 218th General Assembly sent ten amendments and four ecumenical statements to all Presbyteries for prayerful consideration and yes/no votes. They affect the life and ministry of our churches and merit our full attention. Click here to read the full text of these amendments and statements.
The section, "On Amending G-6.0106b, G-14.0240, and G-14.0450 (Item 05-09)", addresses the elimination of some exclusionary language regarding ordination and installation, which is particularly of interest to Sixth Church and other More Light churches.
As Pittsburgh Presbytery considers the proposed amendments to the Book of Order and Ecumenical Statements, six listening and discussion sessions have been arranged by an Advisory Committee of Pittsburgh Presbytery. Members of the Advisory Committee will attend each session to facilitate discussion, record questions and summarize comments shared. It is hoped that church members, officers and ministers will participate in these sessions as preparation for the Presbytery vote on these pending matters in spring 2009.
