Yesterday May 1 – my official starting point for General Assembly Season. But as many of you are aware, this will be a very different General Assembly Season. With the Covid-19 virus circulating almost all of the early meetings have been cancelled or postponed. Many are simply listed as “postponed” with hopes of rescheduling in 2020. Some have specifically stated that they will not happen this year. Still waiting on a few and I will update as announcements are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this is the line-up for General Assembly Season as I know it now. Please let me know if I have missed an announcement or a presbyterian branch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that’s the list I am tracking at the moment. I will update as appropriate. If I have missed one, or have information wrong or incomplete, please provide the appropriate information and I will update the list.<\/p>\n

I will again reference the series of articles I wrote as an introduction to Presbyterian General Assemblies eight years ago. My GA 101 series<\/a> consists of the following<\/p>\n

\n

GA101: Preface<\/a>
GA101: Introduction \u2013 Why in the world would anybody want to do it this way?<\/a>
GA101: Connectionalism \u2013 The Presbyterian Big Picture<\/a>
GA101: The Cast of Characters \u2013 A score card to identify the players<\/a>
GA101: The Moderator \u2013 All Things In Moderation<\/a>
GA101: Where does the GA business come from? \u2013 Incoming!<\/a>
GA101: Doing the business of GA \u2014 Decently and in Order<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So GA Junkies, this is a very different season. By my count, there are currently seven Assemblies or Synods that are still on as scheduled, seven that appear to be postponed to later in the year, two to happen by videoconference approximately as scheduled (not counting electronic meetings to decently and in order reschedule the meeting), and twelve that appear to be cancelled\/rescheduled for next year. I am still collecting info and some of the later ones may yet be rescheduled as well. We will see.<\/p>\n

So with that, I pray that you stay safe and healthy at this time and may it pass quickly. And for the hard-core GA Junkies out there may the withdrawal symptoms not be too bad and may you find something else to do to fill the time.<\/p>\n

And finally, with the prospect of video GA’s coming up, I will start working on a Bingo Card for the occasion. Let me know if you have one and I will share all that I find.<\/p>\n

So stay decent and in order my friends.<\/p>\n\n\n
