The 70th General Synod of the Bible Presbyterian Church convened yesterday in Grand Island, NY, and will continue until August 8th.  The theme is “The Foundation: Jesus Christ – If the foundations be destroyed.”  The docket lists the preaching at each worship service being on a foundational principle:  “Building on the Foundation,” “Revelation of the Foundation,” “Incarnation and Virgin Birth,” “The Resurrection of Christ,” “The Deity of Christ,” “The Atonement,” “The Conquest by the Foundation.”  In addition there is one more message and two seminars on American Presbyterianism.  The message is “The Father of American Presbyterianism:  Francis Makemie.”  The seminars are “Progression of American Presbyterianism – 1706-1806, 1806-1906, 1906-2006,” and “The demise of the mainline presbyterian church, the rise of the Bible Presbyterian Church, and the future.”

The rest of the docket looks pretty straight-forward.  There is a report on their web site.  I’ll post again when I hear anything more about this General Synod or leave a comment if you know anything.
