The World is Hungry for the Grace, Justice and Truth of the Gospel!

24 former GA moderators call for unity in Christ

In May. 24 former Moderators of General Assembly sent a church wide letter and call for unity.  They wrote: 

"We affirm that Jesus Christ is Head of the Church, and continues to guide and direct it.  The decision to adopt Amendment 10-A does not bind the conscience of any Presbyterian, nor does it create a mandate for ordaining particular individuals. Instead it directs each congregation and presbytery to prayerfully discern the gifts and call of each candidate for ordination, guided by Scripture and the confessions. And it calls all ordained officers to “submit joyfully to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.”

"We believe that the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) needs the voices and gifts of all of us, whether we agree with Amendment 10-A or not.  Our unity is strengthened by our diversity, and vigorous debate as well as mutual forbearance is essential to the body."

They continued, saying:"We pray that God will bless all of us with a fresh commitment to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with a world hungry for the grace, justice, and truth of the Gospel.

"Relying upon the wisdom of the Apostle Paul we "beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one anther in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." (Ephesians 4: 1-2)."

Amen and Amen!
