Case of Dr Fosdick to be argued again at assembly
Columbus Ohio May 8 The case of Mary Emerson Fosdick the Baptist minister who left the First Congregational church of New York and was guest of the Presbyterian General Assembly will again be center stage when the 18th annual session opens May 21. The dispute arose over orthodoxy and the New York Presbytery’s delay in acting. A faction led by Dr Buchanan of Broadway Presbyterian Church will press charges that the presbytery licensed ministers denying core Christian miracles. Trials will be conducted in executive session by the judicial commission with potential assembly review. The moderator election tests fundamentalists versus liberals with candidates including Dr Lasley A McAfee of Berkeley and Dr William C Thompson of Ohio State University. About 1,000 commissioners from 299 presbyteries and nearly 2,000 officials will attend, with annual reports and a plan to unify denominational finances.
