Breaking news: Synod PJC reversals acquittal on Spahr case

Three days later than expected, the PJC of the Synod of the Pacific has just issued its decision in the review of the Presbytery of the Redwood’s acquittal of the Rev. Jane Spahr where she was charged with preforming lesbian weddings.  According to an Associated Press story now posted as a news article from the San Jose Mercury News the synod pjc ruled 6-2 that the Rev. Spahr had acted with “conscience and conviction” in preforming the weddings reversing the presbytery decision.

The article also says that the decision was delivered to the parties yesterday evening by certified mail.

I expect: 1) A lot more details to be released shortly and 2) the decision to be appealed to the GA PJC.

I’ll post again in a couple of hours.
