My good friend John Bise's summary of the 52nd General Assembly of the PCA.
Here is a summary and reflection on the 52nd PCA General Assembly from Provisional Stated Clerk John Bise. ow.ly/no1W50WpxbG
Relaxing a bit on a Saturday after having enjoyed coffee that @NateBonham gave me, in my @GroveCtyCollege shirt my wife picked up for me. Another @GPTSeminary and @CovenantCollege shirt for the wardrobe too. And a tumbler and other swag from @ReformTheoSem !
I am starting to get pessimistic about finishing before dinner #pcaga
The Assembly voted to answer Overture 19, “Amend BCO 57-5 to Revise the Membership Vows,” in the negative. Grounds: The current questions of membership are time-tested, Biblical, and Trinitarian. There is no need to revise them at this time. #PCAGA
The Assembly voted to answer Overture 13, “Amend BCO 25-1 to Specify Only Members in Good Standing May Vote,” in the negative. #PCAGA
The Assembly voted to answer Overture 11, “To Study Incorporating Bitcoin into Session, Presbytery, and Committee & Agency Balance Sheets,” in the negative. #PCAGA
The Assembly heard the minority report on Overture 12, “Amend BCO 58-5 to Specify Only Officers May Distribute the Lord’s Supper,” and voted with the minority report to answer the overture in the negative. The vote was 1080-922. #PCAGA
TE Zach Byrd showing why he is the most eager-to-listen-to man at the Assembly! #pcaga
Minority Report on O9 fails roughly 2-1. Overtures Committee recommendation to refer O9 back to the Presbytery passes #pcaga
Members of Overtures Committee can not enter debate during the report. So you will not hear from me for the rest of the Assembly. even for a point of order.
Overtures report beginning. We approved the Overtures Committee’s 17 recommendations on overtures 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 15, 16, 25, 27, 30, 37, 38, 39, 40, and 49. That will help our workload. #pcaga
AC CoC report going on. Most recommendations approved in gross. O42 approved by large margin. Now debating O44 related to ByFaith #pcaga
Love hearing from MTW at #pcaga - missions and planting churches throughout the world is one of the most important things we do.
The Review of Presbytery Records (RPR) report is completed. With very few exceptions, the RPR recommendations were adopted #pcaga
The report of the Committee on Review of Presbytery Records occurring now. An important part of the principles of review and control. #pcaga
I am so glad he is our Moderator! I expect an efficient and humorous Assembly! #pcaga
RTS @ReformTheoSem Professor @RevKevDeYoung of @RTSCharlotte @CCC_Matthews & @ClearlyReformed has just been elected Moderator of the PCA General Assembly.
What a joy to see my close friends, John Bise and Steve Dowling, on the podium for Assembly! #pcga
