Rev Charles M. Jones Fired by Orange Presbytery
A Greensboro based judicial commission of the Orange Presbytery voted 7 to 1 to dissolve the pastoral relation of Rev. Charles M. Jones with Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church effective March 1, 1953.

The commission acted after Jones refused voluntary resignation, citing the authority to discharge under the Presbyterian Book of Church Order. Some Chapel Hill officers and members favored appealing to a higher authority or leaving the Southern Presbyterian church. An improper procedure complaint can be filed, but no appeal is allowed.
