New Wineskins Winter Convocation – Blog entries

Well web sites are getting updated and the Layman Online was better at ferreting out blog entries than I was.  In addition to A Classical Presbyterian, which I followed, they also point to blog 137 by Dave Moody and John Foreman’s What is he thinking? (They also link to Noel Anderson’s Anderspeak but in that post I don’t see specific commentary on the work of the Convocation.) 

These posts, as well as Toby Brown’s all have similar descriptions of the event and discuss the gravity of the meeting and the decision:  A line has been crossed, there is no turning back, God is doing a new thing. 

One more I follow is Bill Crawford at Bayou Christian.  His latest was written before the vote in Orlando but clearly and concisely sets forth why he is in favor of leaving the PC(USA).

As I have said before, I personally don’t agree with this action at this time, but regarding this matter I am taking my approach from Gamaliel who said to the Sanhedrin in Acts 5:38,39

(38) Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. (39) But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.
