The 77th General Assembly of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church will convene tomorrow, July 7, at 7:00 PM on the campus of Trinity Christian College, Palos Heights, Illinois.
For those of us used to live feeds and high drama we can probably expect not much of either. This gathering of 150 commissioners sent by the presbyteries will take up the business of the church with their focused deliberations. As one person tweeted during the PCA GA, “an OPC rep once said: ‘In the OPC we debate finepoints of doctrine. In the PCA you debate fine points of procedure.'”
At the moment I find little information available on-line about the business of the Assembly. I expect, if past years are an indication, that links to daily updates and some business documents will be posted to the Assembly page as the meeting gets under way. (Will update here as posted.) Documents of general importance include
- Confession of Faith and Catechisms
- Book of Church Order
- Standing Rules of the General Assembly
- Instruments of the General Assembly
Stay tuned and I’ll update the page as other resources become available.
