UPDATE:  After reading the decisions in detail, while the presbyteries' actions were all overturned, it appears that it is more to maintain a "status quo" rather than supporting the declaring of scruples.

The Permanent Judicial Commission of the General Assembly of the PC(USA) has just posted decisions in three similar cases where Presbyteries (Olympia, Pittsburgh, Washington) passed resolutions declaring the "fidelity and chastity" requirement among the essential tenets.  In a quick read it appears that the PJC ruled against the presbyteries.  The central decision appears to be 218-10 dealing with the Presbytery of Pittsburgh resolution.

Three decisions will take some time to digest.  Back with more analysis when I can find time to deal with them.
