Belhar Confession Approved

6/22/2016

0 Comments

 
Two major items were passed tonight at the GA plenary. The Belhar Confession was overwhelmingly approved and has now become a part of Book of Confessions as this was the last vote necessary to place this confession in our constitution. This was followed by a standing ovation and a song of praise. 

The other item which was passed was the new Directory of Worship. This item will require approval of a majority of the 171 presbyteries. This Directory is more logical and shorter by 9000 words. 

We praise God for the faithful people who have done the hard work to take our denomination into the future.
