General Assembly

Carroll Wynne is getting ready for his trip to General Assembly next week in Louisville. GA is the annual gathering of Ruling and Teaching Elders from all the churches in the denomination. It is the third court in the Presbyterian government system, the other two being the local church Session and the regional Presbytery. If you wish to see what will be going on, check out the official site.

If want to see what Carroll will be doing, at the left-hand bottom of the page click "Overtures." Carroll is serving on the overtures committee, which tends to be the weightiest of the assignments because of numerous, and often controversial, overtures sent to GA each year. What does the Overtures Committee do? I'm glad you asked, as Carroll has provided a diagram from byFaith magazine to explain.

Please keep the Assembly in your prayers next week. Committees, such as Carroll's, start meeting on Tuesday. The Assembly officially opens Tuesday evening and is scheduled to end Friday morning.
