Session Resolution
Thursday,
March 29, 2001
The session of _____________________ meeting this ____ day of
__________, ______ joins faithful believers throughout the
Church in confessing:
- That Jesus Christ alone is Lord of all and the way of
salvation.
- That holy Scripture is the triune God's revealed Word,
the Church's only infallible rule of faith and life.
- That God's people are called to holiness in all aspects
of life. This includes honoring the sanctity of marriage
between a man and a woman, the only relationship within
which sexual activity is appropriate.
We therefore announce our commitment to the Confessing
Church Movement and we implore all Presbyterians who share
these historic Christian convictions to:
- Renew their individual commitments to the above
confessions.
- Urge their session and presbytery to affirm these
confessions and to declare that they will not ordain,
install or employ in any ministry position any person who
will not affirm them.
- Urge the 2001 General Assembly to instruct the General
Assembly Council to require that all program personnel
uphold these confessions and ensure that these confessions
are followed faithfully in all programs and policies of
the Presbyterian Church (USA).
