Quiet day for Church of Scotland GA

After the opening formalities yesterday today is a quiet day, business-wise, for the GA.  As far as I can tell, no new press releases, news updates, or podcasts have been issued.  I'll keep watching.  The most recent press release, issued just before GA convened, talks about GA authorizing a full report by their Church and Society Council on Israel and Palistine.  The six key principles of the report going into it seem fairly straight forward:  condemnation of terrorism and violence, the right of Israel to exist, the right of the Palistinian people to self-determination, the unique status of Jerusalem as a "thrice Holy City," condemnation of statments by individuals or countries inconsistant with these principles, and a call for countries and international agencies to work with the parties to restart negotiations.  The report would be presented at the next GA
