Time to consider Overtures and Concurrences
In Presbyterian polity, business comes before General Assembly (GA) by way of Overtures. In order for these to be considered by the whole Assembly, they must begin first in a local congregation and then be submitted to the presbytery for approval. The Presbytery of New Covenant will be considering overtures and concurrences for several topics at the November meeting. Information will be posted in the meeting Packet.
Overtures that have already been submitted for GA consideration can be seen at www.pc-biz.org under the "Explorer" tab.
