PC(USA) - 216th General Assembly (2004) - News - Stand against gay ordination upheld
They had a chance to enact just the first step toward recognizing the rights of gays to fully participate in their church. It was looking like they would finally move an inch forward, though not completely around this stumbling block. But in the end, the conservatives won back their precious status quo with the tiniest of nods: they admit a "period of discernment" which they've handed over to their Theological Task Force on the Peace, Unity and Purity of the Church. I guess this former presby should've seen it coming. When faced with a difficult decision, Presbyterians will almost invariably refer the matter to a committee.
