| Response from Laird J. Stuart to Layman questions about 'A Call to Sabbatical' | |
| 1.
In your appeal to Presbyterians to "Honor and respect our
Constitution," what was the signatories' rationale for omitting the
word, "obey?" 2. In your appeal to Presbyterians to "Resist the inclination to provoke or initiate judicial confrontation" do you mean to imply that Presbyterians who witness a violation of the Constitution, e.g., a session's ordination of a self-affirming, practicing homosexual, are hereby constrained by the language of the appeal not to file a judicial complaint against that violation? 3. If one were to interpret this appeal as calling for a "stay of enforcement" regarding Book of Order G-6.0106b, do you believe that this would constitute a fair interpretation? 4. If this "sabbatical" becomes the standard for the PCUSA, what is the remaining significance of G-6.0106b? Dear Parker I believe the responses you have received from Cliff Kirkpatrick, Jack Haberer and John Buchanan speak well and clearly to your questions. Respectfully, Laird |
