75th General Synod Of The Bible Presbyterian Church

The 75th General Synod of the Bible Presbyterian Church will convene tomorrow, August 11th, at the Tacoma Bible Presbyterian Church with morning worship.  The meeting will continue through next Tuesday, August 16th.  The theme of the session is “The Essential Connection: Our Union With Christ.”

The docket for the meeting is posted and shows a mix of business, worship, prayer and teaching. All of the messages and workshops have titles that go with the theme of the meeting:

“United as Foundation and Building” (Eph. 2:20-21)
“United with Saints” (WCF 26)
“United in our Commitment to Peace and Purity” (forum)
“United as Body Members”
“United in Hope of Eternal Life”
“United in Heritage”
“United as Husband and Wife”
“United in Battle”
“United in Fellowship” (seminar)
“United in Encouragement” (banquet message)

And we can anticipate that some of these, maybe most, will be posted on the Synod Audio web page following the meeting.

Traditionally, no reports are posted electronically for the Synod meetings but following the meeting important actions and resolutions will be announced on the News page and the minutes will be available on the Synod page (on the right).

Other potential sources about the meeting include the Presbyterian Missionary Union which usually posts about their activity at Synod (and has posted the Synod announcement on their site) as well as the host church, Tacoma Bible Presbyterian Church, which does have a Twitter feed (@TacomaBPC).  I am not aware of other news sources or Twitter feeds or hashtags for the meeting but will update if I see any.

UPDATE: Have not seen much yet in news feeds, but Tacoma BPC is posting pictures of the Synod to their Facebook page.

So that is the rundown as I know it for this meeting. Prayers for their deliberations, I look forward to listening to the messages and hearing about their decisions.
