Today, March 3rd, Yellowstone Presbytery reversed previous historical votes and chose the values and justice embodied in 08-B. Congratulations to all who have been praying and working so hard in this discernment process. And, to all those who are feeling pain and disappointment, we pledge to remain faithful to our call of being a unified church for all and working toward healing and unity - with all our differences.
Our work of keeping up the conversations on 08-B around the country continues. A growing group of advocates are calling members of all the presbyteries yet to vote, asking for support on 08-B, as well as encouraging the dialogue of healing and moving past the divide of G-6.0106b.
We ask your prayers for the intensifying work of all the progressive groups and our supporters around the country who faithfully seek solidarity for the ratification of Amendment 08-B.
If you would like to help with calls or have any information that you believe would help us to better engage our sisters and brothers in these calls, please let me know.
This week, the following presbyteries will be voting. Again, we invite you to pray for these presbyteries:
If you have any updates, please let me know.
We ask that you do all you can to support this effort in prayer and love for one another.
Peace, Ray

You may win this vote - if not you will probably win the next time. But you are not winning over any hearts. You are just driving Christians out of the PCUSA.
You will win by attrition (definition: "the act of weakening or exhausting by constant harassment, abuse, or attack (a war of attrition)"
Then you will rule with an iron fist over an empty church. The abused will have all left.
You are quite mistaken. Hearts are being won and lives are being saved each day we do talk about this.
