@ThomasERickard @JoshuaTorrey BCO 13-9 also permits Presbyteries to review congregational meetings in their power "to visit churches for the purpose of inquiring into and redressing the evils that may have arisen in them." (SJC 2021-12, M49GA, p. 823) That's an important point that is often missed, IMO.

@JoshuaTorrey Congregational meetings occupy a strange place in PCA polity. They are important to the rights of a particular church, but they are not courts. So their actions are not complained against and may be reviewed only insofar as the Session calls, records, or acts upon them.

The rationale for this overture gives good background. Let me add some more. A presbytery referenced a question to CCB about whether a presbytery could require congregational meeting minutes. CCB could only say it was implicitly necessary. This overture seeks to make that explicit. So why should it be explicit? Congregational Meetings are required for exceptionally important actions like electing officers and pastors. These actions properly belong to the congregation and not a court of the church. This means a member of the congregation cannot file a BCO complaint (which is restricted to an action of the court). This also means a valid constitutional opinion of a session could be ignored by the congregation during the course of a congregational meeting. The SJC case cited in the rationale goes into detail about how a presbytery could deal with such a situation and one of them is for the presbytery to review the congregational meeting minutes. But if the minutes aren’t required or delivered the review cannot be performed. Now let’s consider a situation in which neither the session or congregation even realize that they’re violating our constitution. It belongs to the Presbytery to ensure that churches (not just sessions) are following the constitution. They can only do that by reviewing minutes. Perhaps some amendments are in order to appease some consciences. But I would urge all members of the OC and GA to strongly consider how this would protect congregations and sessions from potential issues.

The 57th overture for the 53rd #PCAGA has been received. The overture comes from South Texas Presbytery and proposes to “Amend BCO 12-7, 13-9, and 25-5 to Explicitly Require Minutes of Congregational Meetings Be Included in Session Records.” pcaga.org/wp-content/upl…

My sweet sister's faith has become sight. Our family is grieving, but grieving with the certain hope of her resurrection (1 Thess. 4:13). The words of William Cowper's famous hymn, God Moves in a Mysterious Way, have been a special source of comfort to me, and I pray that they will be to you, too. "Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;   The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break   In blessings on your head." Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,   But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence   He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast,   Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste,   But sweet will be the flower." God is good, even now. Praise His holy name.

Dear @chicagobulls, I am a lifelong fanatical Bulls fan. Been to many games, bought your merch, and supported loyally through ups and downs. Until today. My greatest loyalty is, as is Jaden's, to Jesus Christ and truth. And I am grateful to live in a nation that protects freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Your violation of the first amendment--and, even more problematically, your ideologically selective while culturally amenable cancelling of a man who did nothing more than hold to his convictions--is a tragic capitulation to the spirit of the age. I urge you to do the right thing and publicly apologize to Jaden, acknowledging the error of censoring a man for believing what Scripture says and what Jesus taught. Respect, @JadensIV. -a Chicago pastor

Admit it: Your kid mispronounced a word three years ago and now the whole family says it that way. What's the word in your house? (We still say 'pasketti' and I’m not stopping anytime soon.)
