With many Reformed and Presbyterian churches starting spring presbytery meetings, I am wondering what some of the discussions will be this spring?

We meet in Orlando for the Great Lakes/ Gulf Presbytery at the end of February.

PRESBYTERIAN THOUGHTS

First Reformed Presbyterian Church

And I thought the OPC's Presbytery of the South, which stretches from Louisiana to Key West, covered a lot of territory!

"There never was a man in the world without a creed. What is a creed? A creed is what you believe. What is a confession? It is a declaration of what you believe. That declaration may be oral or it may be committed to writing, but the creed is there either expressed or implied."—B.H. Carroll

I've heard of Presbytery meetings lasting from several days to a couple of hours depending I suppose on the proximity of the churches, the size of the presbytery, the frequency of meetings and the agenda for that particular meeting.

It is most strange to see the words "exciting" and "presbytery meeting" in the same sentence.

I love the courts of the church!

The Great Lakes/Gulf Presbytery is a strip of land that cuts through the South. The goal (from what I have heard) is to get enough southern churches to have their own presbytery.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought you Presby bros from the Upper Midwest just wanted to Gerrymander yourselves into a vacation destination spot for your meetings! You know, get together and listen to a couple of light middleweight theologians spar for a few rounds over the FV, visit the Reformed Vatican in Orlando, then take in a trip to Disneyworld.

[Visiting my eldest son's family in Chicagoland this week, this Los Angeles boy had to cope with -17 degree windchills (expected to drop to -30 by tomorrow morning). Yikes! It was 86 back home last week.]
