There is no move in that direction of which I am aware. There are two overtures before the PCA General Assembly to form a study committee to further explore the issue of deaconesses. The study committee would be required to make a recommendation to the GA before any decision is made. The study committee would still have to do its work and could even decide that deaconesses are not Biblical. I think it is premature to wonder what elders will do until a decision is made whether to form a study committee or not. | I am just asking 'what if'. Like "I wonder what the world will look like in 2020". I understand the process that needs to take place and never specifically mentioned the GA.
