Presbyterians weigh reunification with main branch in bid to unite
Southern Presbyterians meeting in Columbus Ga are likely to approve a merger with the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, while two smaller conservative groups have already joined hands. A parallel move saw the Reformed Presbyterian Church Evangelical Synod join the Presbyterian Church in America in Grand Rapids Mich. If the southern merger passes, it would go to the northern General Assembly in Hartford and then to a united assembly next year for final approval. Southern Baptists prepare to elect a new president as more than 10 000 convene in New Orleans for the 13.8 million member denomination.
