Ammendment 08(B) Fails In Presbytery Votes

April 27th, 2009 · Posted in Church Polity · 0 Comments

A majority of the Presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church (USA) have voted not to amend the current statement in the Book of Order regarding ordination.

You can read more about the proposed change in a previous post here.

Here is the breakdown of the Presbyteries voting and an analysis from the denominations news site.

I must say that I favor the way the vote went — but I also pray that, regardless of how we feel on this and all the issues that surround it, we can put this issue aside and continue to work together to being the love of God to a hurting and sinful world.

I’d welcome your comments on this.
