43rd General Assembly to Consider Ten New Overtures
Assembly Also to Consider Overture Carried Over from the 42nd Assembly
By
Ten new overtures and one carried over from the 42nd General Assembly will be considered by the 43rd General Assembly.
“This overture helps foster better shepherding relationships between presbyteries and men without call,” David Dickson says. “It allows presbyteries to take into account the particular circumstances of a man without call and easily extend the ‘without call’ status year to year, by a simple majority vote of presbytery as the case may warrant.”
Earlier this year, New Hope Presbyterian Church of Fairfax, Virginia, submitted an overture to Potomac Presbytery to change BCO 35-1 such that accused ministers will be required to testify against themselves.
Teaching elder Bill Tyson said he proposed the change after a man in his church indicated that the current wording didn’t seem to fit with covenant theology.
The proposed revisions would delete the words “and recreations” and “the whole time.”
