Lake Huron Turns Blue

I just received the news that Lake Huron Presbytery reversed its 2001 vote and voted in favor of inclusion 43-32. This is the second presbytery that has switched.

What am I talking about? Why the new Amendment B, of course, that returns us to our Presbyterian traditions. Here is the text:

G-6.0106b. Those who are called to ordained service in the church, by their assent to the constitutional questions for ordination and installation (W-4.4003) pledge themselves to live lives obedient to Jesus Christ the Head of the Church, striving to follow where he leads through the witness of the Scriptures, and to understand the Scriptures through the instruction of the Confessions. In so doing, they declare their fidelity to the standards of the Church. Each governing body charged with examination for ordination and/or installation (G-14.0240 and G-14.0450) establishes the candidate's sincere efforts to adhere to these standards.

Here are some FAQs to help when you make the case in your presbytery.

It is nice to have a blue lake.
