That All May Freely Serve urges support for Heartland Overture,
and calls for resistance to "[a]busive power,
which we strongly lament is not addressed by the Report of the Theological
Task Force on Peace, Unity and Purity ..."
The statement adds:
Since TAMFS affirms elements of the authoritative
interpretation proposed by the Task Force to be appropriate constitutional
provisions (See longer response in "On
Not Growing Weary in Well-Doing".) of which governing bodies should be
aware, we believe it would be positive to raise the provisions of G-6.0108
up to presbyteries and sessions for their consideration in dealing with
candidates for ordination and/or installation.

This website has been created by a number of progressive
organizations related to the Presbyterian Church (USA), with two
main purposes: 1. We
want to share our concerns and views with commissioners and others
attending the Assembly, and with anyone else who is watching from
afar. While some of our groups focus on one area of concern
and others are more general in their focus, we are all committed to
the wholeness of our world, which we understand to involve justice
and peace and the well-being of all people; and we are committed to
the wholeness and health of our Church and its witness and service
in the world.
2. We want to get to know
you better and serve your concerns and needs in any way we can.
So we will invite you to share your views with us and with one
another with any email responses or questions. We'll invite
your responses with links here and there, and we'll try to post
those that seem to contribute to our conversations.
Just send a note now, and tell us how we can be helpful!
