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.
Two regular posters, at least, on PB are members of the PCA bills & overtures committee, one of whom is the convenor, which by this time next week, will probably have voted on the issue of whether to propose such a study committee.
