Presbytery Meeting

t the request of the Bills & Overtures Task Group and the Docket Planning Team (whose collective membership meets the requirements for calling a meeting), our Moderator is calling a special meeting of the Boise Presbytery. The meeting is set for April 4, at 5 pm. It will be held entirely by Zoom. Watch your email for the Zoom link.

​

The purpose of the meeting is to consider recommendations of the Bills & Overtures Task Group for concurrences on overtures to this summer’s General Assembly. Because of deadlines for submission of GA business, this could not wait until our May meeting. This is an important way that we make our views known within the wider church. A concurrence (like a second to a motion) is needed to docket the overture for consideration by the General Assembly. It does not commit our commissioners to voting in favor of the overture, and the overture may be amended both at the committee level and before the General Assembly.

The recommendations take the form of a Consent Agenda (for four overtures) and a regular agenda (for three overtures).
