Churches Near Reunion Hopes Rise at Dallas Assembly
In Dallas on May 7 the Presbyterian General Assembly opened amid optimism for a potential reunion of the northern and southern branches. The northern church, about 1.5 million strong, has a nationwide presence, while the southern branch counts roughly 300,000 members south of the Mason-Dixon line. Leaders from both sides expect overtures toward union, with possible nominations for moderator facing Dr. Robert Johnson and Dr. Andrew C. Zenos among others. The assembly plans two daily sessions through May 25 and a Brotherhood banquet at the conference building roof garden.
