\nWith the numerous Assemblies and Synods that have been happening over the last few weeks I have pushed the news headlines off to the side in favor of my following and commenting on the meetings. Having gotten a bit caught up, let me offer a few of the headlines that caught my attention last week and maybe I will later do an omnibus to cover a couple of interesting items that transpired in the earlier weeks.<\/p>\n

First, a few interesting items not from a Presbyterian body but other Reformed bodies that have parallels or application to Presbyterians.<\/p>\n

From the Christian Reformed Church General Synod:<\/p>\n
