Resolutions and Overtures

We offer the following overture to help sessions and presbyteries move toward a position more faithful to our constitutional form of government in this uncertain time.

A Resolution for Sessions: Defining Ordination Standards

An Overture to a Presbytery Concerning Its Ordination Standards

A Sample Resolution from the Presbyterian Coalition

We are members of the PC (USA) taking action to be in a church where leaders, councils and institutions govern according to the rule of law under the authority of Scripture and a constitution. With the light of Scripture and our church confessions, we understand the recent Authoritative Interpretation of G-6.0108b to be a serious and grave subversion of our church's constitution and one of many recent signs that theological progressives and conservatives are not existing together in peace, unity and purity under the same confessional and institutional boundaries.
