Greetings,  here is a collection of brief news items that may be of interest:<\/p>\n

Sacramento, CA: Thanks for a comment by reader Buddy who informs us
\nthat at the called meeting of the Sacramento Presbytery yesterday all
\nfour motions dealing with ordination standards, per capita, and the
\ntrust clause passed.  Buddy’s comment is attached to my original post<\/a>.  Interestingly, Pastor Tom Gray of Kirk of the Hills Church in Tulsa, OK, writes in his blog<\/a>
\nthat the stated clerk of the GA has written a letter to other stated
\nclerks that these types of resolutions are not acceptable.  The
\nstory of the meeting was in the Sacramento Bee, both a pre-meeting article<\/a> yesterday and a post-meeting article today<\/a>. (Or get to the articles through Google News<\/a>)
\nThe article says that the votes on the first two motions concerning
\nordination standards were 87-59 and 83-63.  Also, they report that
\nthere will be a case filed with the PJC.  More as all this
\ndevelops.<\/p>\n

Ghana:  There has been a bit of press this week over the
\nPresbyterian Church of Ghana’s support of a demonstration against
\nhomosexuality and same-sex marriages.  The events included
\ncomments by the Moderator of the PC of Ghana, Rt. Rev. Dr. Frimpong
\nManson, where “He described the manifestation of sexual desire toward a
\nperson of the
\nsame sex as a detestable behavior, immoral, a deviation from normal and
\nperversion of the creator’s original intention.”  “He has pledged
\nthe church’s full support for government’s prompt and
\nbold stance to prevent this abomination from being encouraged on
\nGhanaian soil.”  This story was fairly widely covered including allAfrica.com<\/a> (from which I took my quotes), Ghanaian Chronicle<\/a>, Accra Daily Mail<\/a>, and 365Gay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scotland:  The Moderator of the Church of Scotland has misplaced
\nthe ceremonial ring of the office of Moderator.  An undisclosed
\nreward is being offered.  Coverage by BBC News<\/a>, icLanarkshire<\/a>, and the Glasgow Daily Record<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
