More FOS Overtures

It looks like the discussion over the proposed revision of the Form of Subscription is going on all over the CRC. This is wonderful and a vast majority of the overtures and communcations coming out of the churches and classes demonstrate a strong desire to maintain confession unity in the CRC. Keep in prayer for the delegates of Synod this summer as they deliberate over this (as well as many other matters).

All of the overtures that we have posted previously have been compiled, along with some others, in the Agenda for Synod 2008. Go to page 235 for the study committee report and 288 for the first of the overtures.

Additional overtures and communications have been submitted after the printing of the agenda. They can be seen by clicking here. The overtures begin on page 69.

Other updates and additions will probably be posted. Those can be found by periodically checking here. Also, for some of the other response letters sent by church councils, scroll through previous posts on this blog.
