PCA Missouri Presbytery overwhelmingly finds Teaching Elder Jeff Meyers not guilty of charges against his views on theology<\/a><\/h3>\n

The Aquila Report, 16 April 2012
\nIn a trial before the whole Presbytery, not a judicial commission, TE Meyers was found not guilty of holding views regarding covenant, or federal vision, theology that are outside the bounds of the Westminster Standards. The source for this article was a post by Wes White on his blog Johannes Weslianus<\/a>. [ed. note: If you are not familiar with both of these they are good sources of info on the PCA as well as the other non-mainstream Presbyterian branches.]<\/p>\n

With the fall elections approaching in Ghana there have been messages from the Presbyterian Church in Ghana including a call from the Moderator of the General Assembly to move up the election date to allow more time if a run-off is needed and for transition.<\/p>\n

Church of Scotland outlines vision for a moral economy<\/a><\/h3>\n

Christian Today, 18 April 2012
\nOne of the reports coming to this year’s Church of Scotland General Assembly, the report of the Special Commission on the Purposes of Economic Activity<\/a> titled ‘A Right Relationship with Money<\/a>‘, made headlines in the media this week. As the second article summarizes it, the report makes the case that “good economic practice is embedded in social relationships.” Coverage was prompted by a Church of Scotland press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those are some of the things in the news last week. Coming up this week the news includes the big happenings in Colorado Springs<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
