    PCA General Assembly in Dallas

    Anyone from this board going to be there next week?

    Also on a nearly unrelated note, can any of you Dallas types tell me if Deep Ellum is safe or interesting anymore. I heard it had fizzled.

    Last time I was around Deep Ellum, it looked trashy ... but as one can tell by looking at me, looks ain't everything.

    Richard, some of us will be meeting for lunch tomorrow at Chris Coldwell's (Dallas), so if you're interested let us know. It'll be around noontime.

What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship?

    Yes, Stephen and Lane (Greenbaggins) are linking up to drive over here so if you need a ride from the hotel, they are meeting up at the entrance to the exhibit hall, which doesn't open till Monday PM I think.

    I lived in Dallas from '73 to '83 and we visit often as a son lives there now, and as interesting as it may be, i've never considered that neighborhood all that safe, except during state fair time when a lot of people are there.

    yes, i'll be at GA next week, on the B&O committee, a lot of the time.

    Well I actually can't make it.
    But our church will be represented well.
    My pastor will be there. He is almost painfully shy or at least studiously quiet except when he preaches.
    He came here all the way from Philly and Texas or Texans sort of have to grow on you.

    I was thinking of having tons of people come up to him and greet him all week long just as a prank.
    You know, stuff like "aren't you the Jim Angehr from Lubbock that I have heard so much about online?" or "do they really call you Jim "righteous" Angehr in West Texas?"

    But maybe I shouldn't.
    At any rate he is a really interesting great guy. yall should meet him.
    Though he looks like a really young version of Barbie's friend Ken (the doll) but he is one wise dude.
    Plays blues harp, knows more than you could imagine about American music, especially Springsteen . I was thinking of suggesting Deep Ellum for some good blues if he gets free time but I am rethinking that also.

    Yup, I will be there, and am looking forward to seeing the old faces again. That's the best part of GA. I'll be flying in on Tuesday afternoon, and hunting for a Shuttle ticket or taxi.

    Does anyone know whether there will be any audio or video of the Overtures committee we access (like there is a webcast of the rest of General Assembly)?

    Highly unlikely

    I have heard it has gone very well and expeditiously under Fred Greco's chairmanship; they will be handling the deaconness overtures today.

    I saw on the web cast that a "minority report" was announced by the Overtures Committee, without further information.

    Anyone know anything about what is transpiring?

    I have heard it has gone very well and expeditiously under Fred Greco's chairmanship; they will be handling the deaconness overtures today.
    Yes. Fred acquitted himself honorably and capably. I was on the Overtures Committee with him. He announced something toward the end that we were not to talk publicly about the results prior to the floor report, in the interests of not spreading rumors, and I hope to honor the spirit of that, but I would like to tell a story about something not of substance, which I found amusing and moving, about Fred.

    As we were about to adjourn, after Fred had warned us about no outbursts, and had been very strict about things out of order, to both sides of every issue, a member rose to move a resolution of thanks for his leadership of the committee. The committee erupted in total disorder, with a standing ovation. For the only time I can recall, Fred was totally out of control of the committee. And the only time I know ever of Fred, he was speechless. It was a deeply moving moment.

    Then, in comic relief, the movant said -- of course, it should be remembered that all three times your rulings were appealed, you got overruled all 3 times.

    I must add that I dont recall that as quite true -- he was overruled by the committee only 2 of the 3 times his rulings were appealed.

    I write from the floor of the GA. The report of the committee, including the majority report on women deacons and the minority report, should be made sometime today. Stay tuned. Im told that reports are going on the PCA webpage as soon as they are made on the floor.

    An elder is arguing that a TE who is in marital difficulty should be able to be suspended pending investigation, before any finding of guilt.

    Next item, was to strike from the minutes the rationale from Overture #9, as it discusses a pending judicial case.

    Dr. Morton Smith asked how this would be handled in the minutes.

    Dr. Roy Taylor said his intention, unless otherwise instructed, would be to print the items, with strikeouts.

    I.e., in the journal, struck out, the published minutes, not there at all.

    The Moderator made some announcements, and we are being dismissed in prayer for lunch.

    They don't seem to be following the published schedule. Will overtures continue after lunch?

    Yes, why is it so far ahead? Bills & Overtures wasn't supposed to start reporting until 1 at least (according to what I've heard) and the online schedule said 4:05pm for the start.

    so am i to understand right now vis a vis #9, the only thing that has happened is the rationale for the overture has been modified?

    My pleasure. I'm here, and as a member of the Overtures Committee, I'm not permitted to debate. So what else could I do besides log to PB?
