\n\n<\/td>\n		\nTomorrow evening in Moraga, California, the 80th General Assembly<\/a> of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church<\/a> will convene.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, this is always a very easy General Assembly to follow since a great running daily narrative<\/a> is traditionally posted by the church. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you are trying to follow along “live” this is usually not a meeting that provides a lot to follow. There is no live streaming, I have not detected any Twitter chatter (please let me know if I am missing it and I will update) and the reports and business the Assembly will be considering is not posted to the web, at least not that I have found. UPDATE: From the comments the hashtag should be #opcga<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This is a rare occasion with the OPC Assembly on the west coast, in this case at St. Mary’s College of California<\/a> across the hills from Berkeley in the Bay Area. It was tempting for me to take some time to go observe but this is not the year for me to be doing that.<\/p>\n

The one item on the docket that has been discussed<\/a> is the development of a psalter-hymnal. This is a project that will take almost a decade and at this point the choice of the contents has been made. The news article says that the list will be presented to the Assembly but not for final approval.<\/p>\n

If you want the background info you can find their Confessional Standards<\/a>, Book of Church Order<\/a>, General Assembly Papers<\/a> (white papers on various topics) and the Standing Rules<\/a> on the General Assembly page. There is also a guidelines and policy piece referred to as the Instruments of the General Assembly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I look forward to following along on the Daily Updates and we extend our prayers for the meeting and for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in your deliberations and discernment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
