Presbyterian split urged if assembly action ratified
In Columbus on May 27 the 187th general assembly of the Presbyterian Church US A closed with the modernist faction warning that ratification by the general body would force a church split. A fifteen member commission will study the issue and report to next assembly. The dispute centers on whether ministers must affirm the virgin birth as the judicial commission upheld church laws, remanding cases for conformity. A protest with fifty signatures argued that accepting the confession does not require belief in the virgin birth and that presbyteries alone judge minister qualifications.
