NOTE: It is the policy of this presbytery to authorize the Moderator and the Stated Clerk to read and approve the minutes for the presbytery.  The minutes are not printed until this approval is given.  Also, once a year, the presbytery prints a separate directory, with the committee structure, and with names and addresses of all churches, ministers, clerks of sessions, candidates, and committee members.  Also, once a year the annual audit is reported and made available to the presbytery at a regular stated meeting.

CALLED MEETING

January 25, 2006

 

The Presbytery of Mississippi held a called meeting at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Hattiesburg, Mississippi on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. with the Moderator, Dr. A. M. “Bubba” Martin, presiding.  The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Chas Jones.

 

ROLL

 

A quorum was present with the following eight ministers and eleven elders enrolled for the meeting. 

 

Ministers: Charles Bowdler, John Dudley, Chas Jones, James Rackley, Steve Ramp, Clarence Roberts, Jim Truesdell, Andy Wells

 

Elders: Gene Eblen (Diamondhead), Pearce Sunderland (Westminster Gulfport), Lola Norris (Westminster Hattiesburg), Betty Simmons (Briarwood), John Walker (Covenant), Louis Watson (Covenant), Martha Gaddis (First-Trinity), R. L. Richardson (Trinity), A. M. “Bubba” Martin, Moderator (Trinity), Vance Sprague (Pineville), and Jim Cassell (First Port Gibson)

 

Visitors: Lou Nell McLoud (Vernal)

 

An excused absence was granted to all active minister members not present and all congregations not represented.

 

An excused absence was also granted to Morris “Skip” Ehrlich.

 

The following ministers were absent without excuse:  Barron Banks, Martha Blount, Theophilus King, Lynn Miller, and David Ray.

 

Dr. Martin expressed the appreciation of the presbytery to Dr. Steve Ramp and the congregation of Westminster Hattiesburg for hosting this meeting.

 

Dr. Martin stated that the purpose of the meeting was to consider the following overture prepared by Rev. Steve Bryant and approved by the session of First Presbyterian Church of Vicksburg:

 

The Presbytery of Mississippi overtures the 217th General Assembly to send the following amendment to the Book of Order to the presbyteries for their approval:

 

Shall G-13.0103r be amended as follows: [Text to be added or inserted is shown in italic.]

to provide authoritative interpretation of the Book of Order which shall be binding on the governing bodies of the church when rendered in accord with G-13.0112 and with the consent of a majority of all the presbyteries, or when rendered through a decision of the Permanent Judicial Commission in a remedial or disciplinary case.  The most recent interpretation of a provision of the Book or Order shall be binding.

 

Rationale

 

            Interpretations of the Book of Order can easily have the effect of altering the meaning of the Constitution even while leaving its words unchanged.  Although the proposed amendment would undoubtedly increase the number of General Assembly actions the presbyteries would be asked to approve, the amendment would nevertheless preserve the presbyteries’ constitutional right to have direct input into important changes to the way that they relate to one another.  Any changes that are binding on the governing bodies of the church should have the approval of the presbyteries.

 

After discussion the presbytery approved the overture.

 

 

ADJOURNMENT

The purpose of the call having been accomplished, the meeting was adjourned with prayer at 9:35 a.m. by Rev. Andy Wells.

Andy Wells, pastor of the host church.  The sermon – based upon Ezekiel 37:1-10 and titled “Out of Chaos – Hope” – was delivered by Dr. A. M. “Bubba” Martin.  Following the sermon Rev. Andy Wells led in the celebration of the Eucharist.

7.      The following overture from the session of Covenant Presbyterian Church was referred to the Committee on Bills and Overtures.

 

DRAFT OF ABORTION OVERTURE

            WHEREAS, resolutions previously passed by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) have led to a general belief by members of the Church and the public at large that the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approves the practice of abortion, even partial birth abortion, going so far as to oppose any limit on abortion (Minutes of the 204th General Assembly (1992)), Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), pp. 372-373; and

 

            WHEREAS, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) confesses in the Book of Order:

           

(1)   That God created the heavens and the earth and made human beings in God’s image, charging them to care for all that lives.  G. 3.0101; and

 

(2)   That the Church of Jesus Christ is the provisional demonstration of what God intends for all of humanity. G. 3.0200; and

 

(3)   That the Church is called to participate in God’s activity in the world through its life for others by, among other things, ministering to the needs of the powerless. G. 3.0300; and

 

(4)   That the Church is called to undertake this mission even at the risk of losing its life, trusting in God alone as the author and giver of life.  G. 3.0400; and

 

            WHEREAS, God has revealed through the Scriptures:

 

(1)   That as the author and giver of life, God has known each one of us even before we were formed in the womb, Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:13; that God has created each of us, male and female, in His image, in the image of God all people have been created, Genesis 1:27; and that God has set us apart to be his subjects, having made us the objects of His compassion and grace, even before our birth. Psalm 22:10.

 

(2)   That having been made in the image of God, the Word of God commands us that we shall not kill, Exodus 20:13; that this Commandment requires that we use all lawful endeavors to preserve our own life and the life of others and also forbids us to take our own life or the life of our neighbor unjustly, or to undertake any act that would tend toward the unjust taking of another person’s life.  The Shorter Catechism 7.067-7.069.

 

(3)   That God watches out for, protects, and defends the cause of all people, including, the weak, the afflicted, the fatherless, and the oppressed, and God listens to their voiceless cries in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify them no more.  Psalm 10:14, 17-18.

 

(4)   That God calls His Church to do these things on behalf of the Kingdom of God so that the will of God might be done on earth, and when doing so, to remember that God also calls us to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Proverbs 31:8.

 

(5)   That God charges us as members of his Church not to oppress or to do any wrong or violence to, among others, the fatherless, Jeremiah 7:6 and 22:5; and that between life and death, God has commanded us to choose life so that we may come to love God, follow his Word, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him, as the Lord of our life.  Deuteronomy 30:19-20; and

 

            WHEREAS, the Church has spoken out and forbidden the practice of abortion even as it stood in the midst of a society and government that condoned abortion and in doing so, has distinguished itself and set itself apart from virtually all civil governments that down through history have condoned practices of abortion, infanticide, and involuntary sterilization based on a variety of doctrines and beliefs that are a scandal to the compassion and grace that God, as the author and giver of life, has for all his people as well as a scandal to his active work, message, and ministry of reconciliation which   God in the name of his son, Jesus Christ, calls us as his Church to undertake in all relationships of life (Excerpts from The Confession of 1967); and

 

            WHEREAS, “The Church comes under judgment of God and invites rejection by man when it fails to lead men and women into the full meaning of life . . . or withholds the compassion of Christ from those caught in the moral confusion of our time.”   The Confession of 1967.  

 

            NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the 217th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.):

 

1.      Affirms that God alone is the “author and giver” of life and reveals in Scripture that the miracle of life begins at the moment of conception. Therefore, the Church opposes the practice of abortion (the premature ending of a pregnancy with the intent to end the life of the embryo or fetus by means of surgical intervention or administration of medications, or any other method that leads to a similar result), except when abortion is necessary (a) to protect the life of the mother as determined by a competent, licensed physician, where the continuation of the pregnancy would, more likely than not, result in  either the mother or the unborn child not surviving continuation of the pregnancy; and (b)  in cases of rape and incest where there is a finding by a competent, licensed physician that carrying the unborn child to term would, more likely than not, result in serious, long-lasting and debilitating mental and emotional distress of the mother.

 

2.      Acknowledges that individuals are confronted with unwanted pregnancies in a number of circumstances, including: pregnancy of a minor child;  pregnancy of those believing they are incapable or unable to provide  properly for the care and Christian nurture of the child.  The Church lovingly welcomes those individuals and seeks to share their burden with compassion.  All members of the Church are urged to minister to those contemplating abortion by prayerfully seeking the guidance of Scripture and offering counsel and assistance to ensure the child receives loving care and Christian nurture. 

 

3.      While not condoning abortion, extends the love of Christ to those who have suffered its practice.

 

Rationale:

 

Resolutions previously passed by the General Assembly of the PCUSA have lead to a general belief that the PCUSA approves a woman’s right to choose abortion, even partial birth abortion. Comments found on Items 11-01 and 11-02 by the Committee on Social Witness Policy at the 216th General Assembly, stated, “women have the ability and responsibility for making good moral choices regarding a problem pregnancy”, and “The church should support a woman’s decision regarding a problem pregnancy, whatever her decision may be.”   Those resolutions also call for furnishing information and papers on the subject and for counseling.

 

The PCUSA should stand clearly against the practice of abortion and, as an even greater witness, extend the compassion and ministry of Christ’s church to those people who are considering such a decision or have been affected by its practice.

Note:            Some of the above language is from an Overture from the Presbytery of Upper Ohio Valley to the 216th General Assembly (2004). That overture called for insertion of similar language in the Book of Order, and it was defeated at that General Assembly, and some quotes from the Committee on Social Witness Policy are taken from the “Rationale” in recommending Disapproval of the Overture (Overture 04-5, Item 11-01 found in the minutes of the 216th General Assembly).

 

8. The 2006 Presbytery Directory will soon be completed and ready for distribution.  (The directory cannot be finished until presbytery takes action on the report of the Nominating Committee at this meeting.)

 

9. The Presbytery of Kendall has concurred with our overture concerning divestment in Israel adopted at the May 17, 2005 meeting of presbytery.

 

10. The stated clerk encouraged members of all congregations in the presbytery to help in hosting the 217th General Assembly which will meet in Birmingham, Alabama June 15-22, 2006.

 

11. The Synod of Living Waters has approved without exception the minutes of the Presbytery of Mississippi for 2004.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS

            Rev. Steve Bryant made an announcement concerning links on the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) website to objectionable material.  Elder David St. Louis made an announcement concerning “Welcome to the Family,” a workshop focusing on attracting and involving newcomers into our congregations.  The workshop is to be held at Ruth Memorial Presbyterian Church on Saturday, March 25, 2006.

 

            Following these announcements, visitors and first-time elder commissioners were introduced.  Minister members of other presbyteries were welcomed as corresponding members and granted the privilege of the floor. 

 

RECOGNITION OF DAVID SNELLGROVE

            The Stated Clerk presented a gift certificate to Rev. David Snellgrove in honor of his service as the Interim Executive Presbyter from September through December 2005.  Mr. Snellgrove served diligently and faithfully in this capacity, providing great guidance to the presbytery in its recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina.

            Mr. Clark Simmons, our area representative with the Board of Pensions, spoke briefly concerning the programs offered to ministers and church employees by the Board.

It is anticipated that we will receive in 2006 support from sources beyond the presbytery to help with the Benevolent Budget in general and the package for the Executive Presbyter in particular.

 

Dr. A. M. “Bubba” Martin reported that the Executive Presbyter Search Committee anticipates presenting a recommendation to presbytery at the May 2006 meeting.

Paul Means to the Presbytery of the Mid-South

Harrison Morgan to Flint River Presbytery

Terry Swicegood to Grand Canyon Presbytery

Joe Wright to Mission Presbytery

 

2.      The committee concurred with the request of First Presbyterian Church, Bay St. Louis, to approve the request of Rev. Ted Hanawalt that his pastoral relationship with the congregation be dissolved in order that he be able to accept the call of the Thalia Trinity Presbyterian Church in Virginia Beach, VA, and that he be dismissed to the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia.  In addition, Rev. Richard Jones, HR, has been hired as interim pastor.

 

3.      The committee received correspondence from Rev. Leon Bracey, former pastor of Faith Presbyterian Church, Jackson, announcing his return to Mississippi and his willingness to serve up to two congregations in a part-time capacity.

 

4.      The committee received correspondence from Suzanna (Suzi) Springler, DCE at the Parkway Presbyterian Church in Metairie, LA.  Due to the illness of her father, she has relocated to Clinton, MS, and is seeking a full-time position within driving distance of Clinton.  A copy of her Personal Information Form is available from Rev. Jim White (601-982-3232; jwwhite3220@earthlink.net).

 

5.      The committee heard an update on the status of Rev. Jessie Jacobs, a Presbyterian Church in America minister who wishes to transfer to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).  He re-took the ordination exams on January 27-28 and the Bible Content Exam on February 3.

 

6.      The committee interviewed Rev. William Yount, a Presbyterian Church in America minister who wishes to return to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).  He is the former librarian at Reformed Theological Seminary and is currently the head of the Hinds County Library in Clinton, MS.  He was given provisional permission to take the ordination exams in August, pending further discussions with the Committee on Ministry.

 

7.      The committee approved the classification of minister members of the presbytery as listed at the end of this report.

 

8.      The committee expressed tremendous gratitude to Rev. Chris Bullock for his work in arranging the 2006 Pastors’ Renewal Retreat for April 20-23 at the Sandestin Resort near Destin, FL.  Funding for this retreat was secured from donors outside the bounds of this presbytery and is designed to provide a real retreat for ministers in the Presbytery of Mississippi after a very tough year.  The committee noted the kind and generous invitation of St. Andrew Presbytery to all church professionals and spouses to be their guests at their renewal retreat the weekend after Easter at Lake Tiacata at no cost.  Further, the committee received a preliminary invitation from a presbytery in Missouri to host our retreat at Branson, MO, next year.

 

9.      The committee expressed its gratitude to Rev. David Snellgrove for his service to the presbytery as interim executive presbyter at an extremely critical time in its life and work following the devastation of Katrina.

 

The following recommendations of the Committee on Ministry were then approved:

 

1.   That the request of the session of First Presbyterian, Lucedale, and Rev. James V. Rackley that his relationship with the congregation as pastor be dissolved and that he be named stated supply of the congregation.

 

2.   That the request of Rev. Lynn Miller, Rev. Jim White, and the session of Fondren Presbyterian Church, Jackson, MS, that her relationship as parish associate at Fondren be dissolved.

 

3.   That Edwin J. Wolff be continued as commissioned lay pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Brookhaven for three years in keeping with his request and the request of the session of the congregation.  In this regard, the committee recommends that ordinarily commissioned lay pastor relationships be approved annually for the first two years of the relationship but that consideration be given to longer extensions thereafter.  The maximum extension allowed by the Book of Order (G-14.0801c) is three years.

 

4.    That the commissioned lay pastor relationship between Wade Spooner and the United Presbyterian Church in Sandersville, MS be dissolved.  Mr. Spooner has returned to Georgia to pursue business interests.
