As I take my morning coffee break I bring you three items from other Presbyterian Blogs that I have not seen in news sources or Presbyterian documents yet:

1)  Toby Brown reports in his blog classicalpresbyterian that the General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission has agreed to hear the case of George Stewart vs. Mission Presbytery that he has been involved in.  In addition the GAPJC has issued a stay of enforcement.  The case involves an inquirer in Mission Presbytery whose lifestyle is not in accord with G-6.0106b and whether they can be advanced to candidacy as the Presbytery voted.  The Synod PJC had a tie vote so the Presbytery action would have stood had the GAPJC not taken the case.  You can also read Toby’s original article about it and his post on the Synod PJC (non-)decision.

And two items from Tom Gray’s blog: tomgrayofthekirk
2)  The first is a comment to his blog that he posts about the decision of Western North Carolina Presbytery at their Presbytery meeting on October 19 to pass, by a wide margin, the document “Guidelines for Congregations Considering A Request to Presbytery to be Dismissed.”  The description of the meeting comes from a reader of his blog who was at the Presbytery meeting.  The Layman has posted a copy of the original proposal that went out in the commissioner packets as well as their own account of the Presbytery meeting.

3)  The second from Tom is an update that arguments in their property case have been heard in Oklahoma court and the judge has promised a decision at 4:30 pm on Thursday October 26.
