From where I sit, it appears to be a tough summer for
denominational assemblies.
That certainly was not the case for me with regard to our
own General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. It was inspiring, missional and theologically
solid as I have posted earlier. You can
get the detail by clicking here.
My experience there seems to stand in stark contrast with
what I read elsewhere regarding other denominations – particularly the
Presbyterian ones. For those who are new
to this, be aware that there are about eight separate and distinct
denominations in the US that consider themselves Presbyterian – so there is no
single, all-inclusive group that can be called “the Presbyterian Church” in the
US. While I am always glad to inform and
comment on matters in my own denomination, I typically avoid throwing stones at
other groups. Even when I might have
disagreements, I can be fine with “live and let live” for those groups that I
am not connected with. For this instance
though, it seems that there is something worth noticing by looking at the big
picture across several denominations. Or just scroll down to the "So What's The Point?" section if you want to skip to my conclusions.
