Without a lot of fanfare, at least that I see, the Louisiana Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America, at their January 20 meeting, passed a resolution that says:

“Louisiana Presbytery, after thorough examination and investigation of TE Steve Wilkins as per the SJC directives regarding allegations made in the Central Carolina Presbytery Memorial, finds no strong presumption of guilt in any of the charges contained therein and exercises its prerogative not to institute process regarding those allegations.”  [Clerk’s note: See BCO 31-2.]

So, the Presbytery finds no problems and the ball is back to the Standing Judicial Commission. The resolution is posted on their front web page with little additional comment, only the historical context.

The Auburn Avenue Church, where Steve Wilkins is the senior pastor, has echoed the resolution on their home page.

Outside of that, and the brief echo or mention on several blogs, the web has been pretty quiet on this.  I guess others join me in seeing this as an expected step in the larger drama that is playing out and the tension will increase this month when the SJC meets to consider Louisiana’s response to their earlier decision.

Now, this is not to say that the blogosphere is quiet about Federal Vision Theology.  The conversations, analysis and criticism and response continues full tilt out here.  Rev. Wilkins examination is a present a side bar in the larger discussion of this topic.
