for my Presbyterian folks

Hi: Today (Friday)at the GA was a loooong day into night. We finished at 11:45 California time. Some quick news: Gradye Parsons was elected Stated Clerk. The ordination motion made it, but the marriage one did not. You know the ones with the "elephant." (Actually the committee voted to disapprove the overture from the Presbytery of Baltimore---so the vote was actually in the positive favor to vote the committee's recommendation. ) The vote on the study of the Belhar Confession made it through the positive vote, with no meaty discussion. I'll hope to give you more details when I can get back to this and it is not 1:10 am California time.
