Kim,

There's certainly nothing wrong with that Overture. It's reads well, raises the right questions, and is the right thing to do. However, now we will have to wait and see if a Study Committee is assigned, then for their work to be completed, and then see what the Study Committee recommends.

This could take a year or more for the Study Committee to do its work and report back to the Presbytery. Then if the Study Committee's report is approved it will be included in the agenda for the next General Assembly. It will be discussed on the floor at the next General Assembly and a decision will be made there if action should be taken on a denominational level. Hopefully this effort will result in a clear statment which seperates truth from error and keeps the church from the slippery slope of liberalism.
