Body, Mind and Soul – As many of you are
aware, the PCC is once again studying the issue of human sexuality, in response
to several overtures to General Assembly requesting that all persons of LGBTQ
orientation be permitted to take roles at all levels of the Church’s
leadership, or to do as the Assembly deems best. Of course, several other
overtures were received requesting that the PCC stay the course with its
existing statements regarding human sexuality and the issue of same-sex
marriage. A study document, entitled Body, Mind and Soul, has been
produced by the joint team responsible for formulating a response to the
Assembly. If you wish to study it online, it can be found at http://presbyterian.ca/sexuality/
- if you wish a paper copy, please talk to Rev. Steve about ordering one.
We will be taking at least one night to discuss this document, but it will not
be before February. Rev. Steve is going to be attending an all-day
seminar regarding this study document at the end of January to get a better
feel on how to run such study events. Please pray for our denomination as
it seeks to find the way forward in this time.
