General Assembly
Filed Under The Church
This week finds Phillip and Grant in Memphis for our denomination’s General Assembly. One of the beauties of Presbyterianism is the interconnectedness we share with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Presbyterianism expresses this interconnectedness on three levels:
- The Local Church: The gathering of all those committed to the corporate worship and mission of Jesus
- The Presbytery: The gathering of all the elders in a geographic area to shepherd the churches under their care
- The General Assembly: The gathering of all the elders in our denominations to shepherd the churches of the denomination
You’ll have to wait until Phillip’s return to get all of the juicy details. However, if you truly can’t wait and have a penchant for C-SPAN type programming, you’ll want to log into the webcast of General Assembly.
But in all seriousness, please pray for the work of the church this week, for the deliberation of the under-shepherds of Jesus, and for the glory of God to be manifest throughout our denomination.
