Ah, the circle of life – overtures and moderator candidates are put forward, the General Assembly or General Synod has its say, and the descending overtures are considered by the presbyteries… And it begins all over again.<\/p>\n

So here we are on May 1. And while a few Assemblies have already come and gone, we start to ramp up to the really busy season. What is headed our way? Let’s have a look…<\/p>\n

First, this is simply the list – further detail will be necessary on a number of important and interesting items of business that will come before the various GA’s this year.<\/p>\n

As always, this is the line-up as I know it – I will update as I clarify additional Assembly and Synod meetings. Let me know if I have missed one.<\/p>\n
