a letter posted on the Outlook's website have not been speaking out in regard to the
theological problems and deficiencies in controversial amendments, particularly
Amendment 10-A; |

UPDATED MAY 17, 2011 – Now that Amendment 10-A has accumulated a majority of affirmative votes to assure adoption, attention focuses upon the ratification votes for the New Form of Government (nFOG) and the Belhar Confession. Both hold a lead at present, but the final outcomes are too close to call. |

Grace and peace to all of you. I was baptized as an infant at First Presbyterian Church, Billings, Montana. I was taught faith, Scripture, the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and confirmed at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Sulphur, Louisiana. |

UPDATED APRIL 19, 2011 – The Presbytery of deChristo voted on Saturday to a 62-62 tie – which counts as a collective “no” vote – becoming the third presbytery to turn away from supporting elimination of the fidelity-chastity ordination requirement (in 2009 it voted 59-48 to overturn the policy). |

In his book Becoming a Blessed Church, Graham Standish points out that while the Presbyterian deliberative process produces measurable results, it has failed the church precisely at the point where church members need their leaders to be spiritually attuned to God’s will in their decision making. Nowhere is this moretrue than in Presbytery, where good Presbyterians compromise our unity and spiritual purpose for the sake of a major vote.

Grace runs deep in Scripture, in the Reformed tradition, and in the hearts of Presbyterians. |

I was graciously granted an interview that is on the Outlook web site. Please read that, and then this theological addition.

I truly wanted to vote for a more concise, less cumbersome new Form of Government (“nFOG”). One that would inspire and send the church fully empowered and engaged in what God is doing in the world. But the proposed new Form of Government actually moves our church backwards, distracts us from actually doing ministry, and further illustrates our denomination’s disconnect with our culture.

To the Editor:
Dear Sir:
Even if you are in favor of gay and lesbian ordination, you should vote against Amendment A, for three reasons. The same reasons pertain to battle-weary centrists eager to put the conflict to rest.
