[1] PCUSA Presbytery of Redwoods Finds Minister Guilty on Three of Four Counts for Performing Homosexual Marriages, then Rebukes PCUSA for Barring Ministers from Performing Homosexual Marriages
The Presbyterian Church (PCUSA)’s Presbytery of Redwoods’ Permanent Judicial Commission (PJC), in a 24 August 2010 trial of the Rev. Dr. Jane Adams Spahr, convicted Spahr on three of four counts related to Spahr’s presiding over a minimum of fifteen same-sex marriages in California between June and November 2008 when same sex marriages were legal in California. Spahr was cited for representing a same-sex ceremony as a marriage and signing the marriage certificate of the two women for whom Spahr had performed the ceremony, contrary to the PCUSA Book of Order; for persisting in a practice of disobedience for performing at least fifteen of these ceremonies; and, for failure to be governed by PCUSA polity in violation of Spahr’s ordination vows. Spahr was acquitted of a charge of failing to further the peace, unity and purity of the church through intentionally and repeatedly acting in violation of the PCUSA Book of Order.
The Redwoods PJC decision went on to commend Spahr for “acting with faithful compassion” in performing the same-sex marriages; to thank Spahr “for her prophetic ministry that for thirty-five years has extended support to “people who seek the dignity, freedom and respect that they have been denied,” and for seeking to right “wrongs against individuals, groups, and peoples in the church, in this nation, and in the world;” and called upon the PCUSA “to reexamine our own fear and ignorance that continues to reject the inclusiveness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ….We say this believing that we have in our own Book of Order conflicting and even contradictory rules and regulations that are against the Gospel.”
The Redwoods PJC issued Spahr a rebuke and an injunction enjoining Spahr to avoid the same offenses in the future, which are not to be imposed immediately if the case is appealed.

[2] Biblical Presbyterian Network Asks Biblical Christians in the PCUSA: Is God Calling You to Exile or Exodus?
In the wake of 2010’s Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) 219th General Assembly, Tony Brown of the Biblical Presbyterian Network has written an essay titled “My Reflections,” which questions the value of current efforts within PCUSA renewal organizations to raise funds and to equip people to fight again the same battles in the presbyteries verses leaving the PCUSA for another denomination already upholding biblical standards.
Brown poses the question “Exile or Exodus?,” and calls upon every individual to set aside the fights over temporal matters and to seek whether God is calling an individual to exile or exodus.

[4] Waldensian Synod Votes to Recognize Homosexual Marriage and to Urge Living Will Legislation
A 27 August 2010 article in La Stampa by A. Giaimo and A. Rossi titled “Testamento Biologico e Coppie Omosessuali. Lo Strappo dei Valdesi” reports that the Synod of the Union of the Methodist and Waldensian Churches, meeting in late August 2010 in Turin, Italy, voted to recognize homosexual marriages in their churches and to urge that living will legislation be enacted in Italy.
Additionally, the synod’s Bioethics Commission has recently approved a document in favor of embryonic stem cell research.
The Waldensians began in the late twelfth century as a small group of men who translated Scripture into the vernacular languages and began preaching God’s Word, which they saw scripturally as essential to salvation. Their translation and preaching activities brought the Bible into France, Italy, Switzerland, and parts of Eastern Europe. As the Waldensians continued to study and preach Scripture, they began to reject man-made Roman Catholic doctrines such as the oath, purgatory, prayers for the dead, the mass, and transubstantiation. Rome’s answer was to bring about the Inquisition, in which Waldensian men, women, and children were tortured, burned at the stake, or hunted down and murdered. Many of the Waldensians found protection in the alpine valleys and high plateaus of Switzerland, where their biblical worship of God was able to continue.

[5] Hindu Congregation Moves into Historical Third Reformed Church (RCA) of Raritan Borough, New Jersey
A 24 August 2010 article by Kara L. Richardson on MyCentralNewJersey.com titled “Hindu Congregation Moves into Historic Raritan Borough Church” reports that the congregation of Third Reformed Church (c. 1851) (Reformed Church in America) in Raritan Borough, New Jersey, held its last church service 30 May 2010, after dwindling to about twenty members, merging with another church, and selling the church building to a lifelong resident and civic activist so that a community center could be built. The new owner sold the church to a Hindu congregation in August 2010 after plans for the community center fizzled.
The new occupants have decorated the church walls with posters of Hindu gods and temple leaders, have hung garlands around the building's posts and railing, and have moved the chairs to the walls - creating an open space for worship.

[11] United Church of Christ Theologian Donald Bloesch - A Father of Mainline Renewal - Passes to Glory
Upon the 24 August 2010 death in Dubuque, Iowa, of Dr. Donald Bloesch, teacher and professor emeritus at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, the Biblical Witness Fellowship (BWF) made the following statement:
“Dr. Bloesch inspired and informed the passion of an entire generation of renewal leaders, not only in his own denomination, the United Church of Christ [UCC], but throughout the Mainline Church. His earlier work such as "The Reform of the Church," "Evangelical Renaissance," "Wellsprings of Renewal," and "The Invaded Church," were the battle cry and blueprint for those calling their drifting churches back to authentic ecumenical orthodoxy. His later "Christian Foundations Series" will remain a part of classical theological education for years to come. Dr. Bloesch largely authored the founding document of the Biblical Witness Fellowship, the confessing movement in the UCC, known as the Dubuque Declaration.”
BWF Executive Director, David Runnion-Bareford said, "Donald Bloesch was the major theological force in shaping our radical vision for church renewal in the 1970's and 1980's. He gave us not only an understanding of the deep perversity in the mainline church, but theological skills to be effective witnesses in a difficult time. He was my inspiration in the early years, and when I found myself in leadership, Dr. Bloesch became an invaluable mentor and friend. It is ironic that this evangelical was the most widely read and respected UCC theologian of his generation. He will be received into glory with great joy! Thank you Dr. Bloesch."

[1] Correction - Scotti Semper Liberi, Almost, and Sometimes Presbyterian
The editor has again tripped over Scotland’s Free Churches, again referencing the Free Church of Scotland instead of the correct reference to the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland.
The 18 August 2010 Presbyterians article “[6] Scotland’s Lord Advocate, Lord Mackay of Clashfern, Urges Sheriffs and Judges to Consider Biblical Principles when Presiding over Court Cases” should have said that Lord Mackay is a former elder in the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland.
The editor again extends apologies to both august bodies and to Lord Mackay, and promises in the future to better proofread the Scots Free Church references.
The editor has additionally determined that if he ever gets to visit Scotland, that a pseudonym may be needed for protection (from embarrassment), and that the editor’s first and middle names might be appropriate to use, i.e., Robert Bruce.

[2] PCA Presbytery Consideration of Administrative Committee Funding BCO Amendments Begins
Presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) are beginning to consider the Book of Church Order (BCO) amendments approved at the 38th (2010) General Assembly regarding the Funding Plan for the Administrative Committee.
Blue Ridge Presbytery (BRP) will be hosting a discussion on 18 September 2010 in Roanoke, Virginia, on the proposed amendments at a non-stated meeting. Teaching Elder (TE) David Silvernail, a member of the Administrative Committee, will present reasons for voting in favor and TE Dominic Aquila will present reasons for voting against; each of whom will have twenty minutes to present. There will be questions from the floor. It is expected that the entire meeting will be audio recorded and that both twenty-minute presentations will be video recorded, and that these recordings will be made available for purchase with the BRP subsequently providing details.
A document titled “Reasons for Voting Against Amending BCO 14-1 (4) and 14-2:
The Funding Plan for the Administrative Committee” has been made available for TE’s and RE’s to study in advance of their presbytery’s consideration of the BCO amendments, and is reproduced here:
http://christianobserver.org/reasons-for-voting-against-the-funding-plan-for-the-pca-administrative-committee/
A majority vote of twenty-seven or more presbyteries for or against the BCO amendments is needed for their respective passage or rejection.

[3] Former United Church of Christ President Divorcing Wife and Pursuing Adulterous Relationship with Former National UCC Staffer
A 20 August 2010 media advisory from the Biblical Witness Fellowship (BWF), a confessing movement in the United Church of Christ (UCC), states:
“Dr. John Thomas, who completed his final term as President of the [UCC] in September 2009, recently announced that he is living in an adulterous relationship with a fellow national UCC staff member and is consequently separated from and divorcing his wife. The duration of the adulterous relationship with his co-worker, engaged in while he served as President of the UCC in Cleveland, or whether she was a subordinate has not been revealed.”
The BWF responded to the news by saying:
"It is a great sadness for all of us that our former President John Thomas has broken his covenant commitment to marriage in exchange for an adulterous relationship. His action deepens the crisis of integrity in the UCC with consequences well beyond the tragic dissolution of his own family. During his administration, Dr. Thomas was a champion for the religious legitimization of sexual license and the redefinition of marriage. It now appears that his agenda may have been driven by personal justification of his own behavior rather than by any authentic conviction. The whole church is deeply hurt when our leaders fail to keep their vows and engage in this form of duplicity. It compromises the witness of all of us in the body of Christ. We understand that all of us sin and fall short of the glory of God, and call on our brother John Thomas to repent and seek restoration."
The UCC Collegium of Officers issued a 16 August 2010 statement titled “Collegium Underscores Denomination's Review Processes in Wake of Information from Former [General Minister President],” which underscored support for UCC processes in place to handle matters that can impact the wider church.

[4] Married Church of Scotland Minister Suspended for Relationship with Widow in Congregation whose Husband he Helped Bury

Michael Erskine for having an affair with a widow in the congregation whose husband he helped bury. Erskine has additionally been evicted from the manse of the Crail and Kingsbarns Church in Fife, Scotland, where he had been minister for almost eight years.
Details of the affair were first reported to the Presbytery of St. Andrews in March 2010.
Erskine is now separated from his wife Jill, and currently lives in Crail, Scotland, with his teenage son and daughter.

[6] Free Church of Scotland Holds “Worship Wars” Conference to Debate Continuation of Unaccompanied Exclusive Psalmody
A 20 August 2010 Press and Journal article by Alex MacLeod titled “Free Church in ‘Worship Wars’ Dispute” reports that the Free Church of Scotland (FCS) held a 23-24 August 2010 conference in Dingwall, Scotland, to debate proposals to include musical instruments and hymns in worship services, contrary to the longstanding FCS policy of exclusive unaccompanied psalmody for use in worship services. Proponents of the changes believe that potential new members and Church of Scotland congregations disaffected by the Kirk’s appointment of a homosexual minister are more likely to choose the FCS if worship services are opened to musical instruments and hymns.
The FCS board of trustees will subsequently make a final recommendation regarding worship music that will be acted upon by a special FCS assembly in November 2010.
