Discussing differences

The 2010 General Assembly (GA) of the Presbyterian Church (USA) had a couple of very controversial items on their agenda this year. To provide some groundwork for discussion of the homosexual marriage agendum, the GA formed a Special Committee to Study Issues of Civil Union and Christian Marriage.

This committee issued their final report to the GA this month. It can be found at http://www.pc-biz.org/Explorer.aspx?id=3333&promoID=168.

The most interesting thing about this report, to me, is the words used to describe the process used to discuss the differences and the recommendations made in the conclusions to the Church.

It takes a little while to read, but I found it very helpful.
