October Presbytery Meeting October 21 - 22 in Baker City

The October meeting of the Presbytery of Eastern Oregon will be Friday and Saturday, October 21-22 at the First Presbyterian Church of Baker City. The meeting will begin at 2:00 Friday afternoon.

Each teaching elder and Commissioned Lay Pastor should attend. Each church should send a ruling elder commissioner.

I will have just returned from the PC(USA) polity conference and hope to have information about how churches and the Presbytery can adjust to the new Form of Government.

One thing I learned at this week's meting of synod stated clerks is that the nFOG asks that we consider how the numbers of teaching elders and ruling elders eligible to participate in Presbytery be as equal as possible. Historically we have had more ruling elders than teaching elders.
