From the 219th General Assembly: Our first gathering as an assembly
http://pcusaga219.blogspot.com/2010/07/our-first-gathering-as-assembly.html
From the 219th General Assembly. A commissioner's report from Minneapolis • July 3–10, 2010. Sunday, July 4, 2010. Our first gathering as an assembly. The theme of water is one that was reflected in the Scripture, music and prayers to open the assembly. We got an introduction to our host state, and learned that the name Minnesota comes from the Dakota word "minisota," which means the sky reflected in the water. July 4, 2010 at 7:01 PM. We read your opening paragraph at the outset of worship,. Presbyteria...

From the 219th General Assembly: The journey begins
http://pcusaga219.blogspot.com/2010/07/journey-begins.html
From the 219th General Assembly. A commissioner's report from Minneapolis • July 3–10, 2010. Friday, July 2, 2010. Friday was a day of travel to General Assembly. A couple of metaphors came to mind as I was flying from to Minneapolis after a stopover in St. Louis. Are some of us like the roadways, moving in order, within some prescribed parameters, but confined in direction to specific turns? Are others like the treelines, moving randomly, finding our way where it's least expected or directed? Next came ...

From the 219th General Assembly: Ready or not? Divided or united?
http://pcusaga219.blogspot.com/2010/07/ready-or-not-divided-or-united.html
From the 219th General Assembly. A commissioner's report from Minneapolis • July 3–10, 2010. Thursday, July 8, 2010. Most controversial issue facing the denomination, the General Assembly was both divided and united. These decisions demonstrate two things: The church is united in its desire to continue to study, discuss and wrestle with the issue of civil union and Christian marriage, but divided in its readiness to make a substantive change in that understanding. July 10, 2010 at 9:30 PM. Election of a ...

From the 219th General Assembly: June 2010
http://pcusaga219.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
From the 219th General Assembly. A commissioner's report from Minneapolis • July 3–10, 2010. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. An introduction to my GA experience. For me, it will also be a homecoming of sorts. I am originally from Minnesota and still have many relatives in the Twin Cities area and the southern part of the state. It is my hope that by sharing my experience as a commissioner that you will have a greater understanding of what our denomination is doing at GA to chart its future.

From the 219th General Assembly: The wave of change is upon us
http://pcusaga219.blogspot.com/2010/07/wave-of-change-is-upon-us.html
From the 219th General Assembly. A commissioner's report from Minneapolis • July 3–10, 2010. Friday, July 9, 2010. The wave of change is upon us. I realize that I owe you a fuller report about what occurred at the assembly over the last two days, but I have to confess that I hit a wall of mental fatigue after Thursday's significant action. July 10, 2010 at 9:12 AM. Rick, thanks for your clear and heart-felt reporting. The Church is moving forward little by little. I appreciated your explanations ...A ste...

From the 219th General Assembly: The hard work of committees ends
http://pcusaga219.blogspot.com/2010/07/hard-work-of-committees-ends.html
From the 219th General Assembly. A commissioner's report from Minneapolis • July 3–10, 2010. Tuesday, July 6, 2010. The hard work of committees ends. It was a difficult and delicate negotiation, complicated by the constitutional deficiencies in some of the original recommendations which had to be amended to be perfected, and because of our efforts to be fair to the Puerto Rican churches and to fellow Puerto Rican members of our committee. For me, my service on this committee was a tremendous experience a...

From the 219th General Assembly: Diversity in unity: We are one body
http://pcusaga219.blogspot.com/2010/07/diversity-in-unity-we-are-one-body.html
From the 219th General Assembly. A commissioner's report from Minneapolis • July 3–10, 2010. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Diversity in unity: We are one body. I have just come from a stirring ecumenical service at Westminster Presbyteryian Church in the heart of Minneapolis. It was a service that not only celebrated our diversity as believers and human beings, but reminded us that even with our diversity we live in the unity of the community of God. Stop and think about that for a moment. How deep and wi...
