April Presbytery Mtg

Presbytery Meeting April 1, 2006

Gary Demarest of the PCUSA Peace, Unity, and Purity (PUP) Task Force

Gary Demarest of the PCUSA Peace, Unity, and Purity (PUP) Task Force told San Jose Presbytery meeting attendees that the report looks at how the denomination can live with differing views on basic issues.

(For a copy of the report, which looks at Christology (who Jesus was and is and His relationship to us), Scriptural interpretational differences, and the issues of ordination, click here.)

Rev. Demarest explained how the task force met over five years and came together to produce the report. He urged Presbyterians to reflect prayerfully on it.
