GAPJC Affirms Presbytery Examination Policy
In three related decisions released February 12, the General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission has ruled that the fidelity and chastity standards for officers are binding and may not be waived by examining bodies. They also ruled that quasi-confessional statements adopted by presbyteries or sessions such as lists of "essential tenets" are unconstitutional. The rulings affirm the position taken by our presbytery in our examination policy and in the advisory paper released by presbytery staff in 2006. Both documents are available under the "documents" tab on the left. The full text of the decisions (218-09, 218-10, 218-15) may be found here:   read more...
