Santa Barbara Presbytery Approves Document Calling for PC(USA) to Return to Jesus Christ

The Layman Online is reporting that Santa Barbara Presbytery approved a document at their Presbytery Meeting on February 10 that uses very strong terms to call the PC(USA) back to faith in Jesus Christ.  (I would note that the Santa Barbara Presbytery web site appears several months out of date, at least as meetings are concerned, and I was not able to get any direct information about this from there.)

The declaration adopted was based upon a “Declaration of Theology and Action” from the Session of Community Presbyterian Church of Ventura.  This 19 page PDF document is heavily footnoted with Scripture and Book of Order References.

At this time, based upon the Layman Article, it is not clear to me if the Presbytery resolution is the document from the church, based upon the document, was inspired by the document, or the document is an appendix or something extra like that.  I will try to find out more.

Whatever the bottom line, Santa Barbara Presbytery has taken action that is reported to include some strongly worded language.  The Layman article says that every PC(USA) congregation will be getting a copy so I look forward to seeing that.
