The Church of Scotland (CofS) GA just wrapped up a debate on the structure of the national church and the role that presbyteries play.  The petition before the GA was to give presbyteries more authority in the reorganized structure of the CofS and weaken the power, especially regarding monetary issues, of the central structure.  The discussion touched on all the usual issues about connectionalism and what it means to be presbyterian.

An amended version of the petition was rejected in a close vote.  (How close I am trying to find out since my web streaming crashed right then.)
