Dear Sisters and Brothers,
A short while ago, news arrived that The Presbytery of San Francisco voted against the ratification of Amendment 08-B. With this decision, the presbytery became the first to reverse its previous position in favor of G-6.0106b-related amendments.
The vote was 167-177-4. It is a disappointing outcome, yet it reflects the deep healing that is needed in many of our presbyteries.
The work continues until the day that we have come to love one another enough to trust God's incredible diversity and gifts in each and every one of us.
The vote is now 68 - 86, against ratification, and closer to a just and loving church than we have ever been before.
We ask everyone to please continue to turn out for all the votes through May 19th and strengthen the witness of this Grace-filled and powerful transition time in the life of the PC(USA) and beyond.
Peace,
Ray
