After the dinner break following the ordination and sexual standards vote, we were addressed by an ecumenical advisory delegate from the Orthodox church. His opening was, 'I bring you greetings from the orthodox church, never reformed and never reforming. We have held our orthodoxy for 2,000 years.' The priest then went on to note, 'I see that you have been guided by the Holy Spirit to overrule the Holy Spirit's Book and redefine sin. This is confusing to me. Maybe there is another spirit than one being listened to. This kind of activity seems more like pagan hedonism than Christianity.' These were humbling and sobering words.
At 10:38 pm Central, by a 51%-48% vote the 219th assembly voted to honor the current biblical standards and definition of marriage.

Does that mean presbyteries will still vote about ordination? Thank you for the updates!
