We'll (the PCA) actually be in GA at the same time. I hope to blog/FB/Twitter update on GA.

Should be easier this year now that I have an iPad!

 

[Scottish Lass]

We will be there, too, Lord willing.

We meet the same time every year. Couldn't y'all have picked a different week?

Are they going to do a reboot at Erskine?

Tuesday is the day for Presbytery meetings and "hello"'s.

We are having problems with a group of Koreans in Northeast Presbytery that run a diploma mill called the "American Theological Seminary" that is running ads in the NYC papers claiming the ARP will automatically ordain you with a M.Div from their school.

Synod business begins tomorrow.

Will update.

I went ahead and packed meals for two days and a change of clothes.

I was going to write my own summary of the 207th Synod, but this will be better than anything I could write.

Very encouraging, so it sounds for the biblical, reformed denomination ARP.

That did a good job of developing the facts, and then providing some interpretation. Sounds very upbeat.

And if you keep in mind that Dr. Evans was last year contemplating how the ARP would split in two with parts going into the EPC and parts going into the PCA, you will understand how dramatically different this year's Synod must have been.
