Proposed Amendments to be voted on

GA 2002 in Columbus

 The Kiski Contingent all arrived safely in Columbus. The Assembly got in full swing with the moving election of Fahed Abu-Akel as the new Moderator of the General Assembly and thanksgiving for the service of outgoing moderator Jack Rogers.

Sunday featured the festival communion service of worship, an afternoon mission fair and sabbath observance by the General Assembly.

Beginning Sunday evening and continuing on Monday, the General Assembly broke to do the nitty-gritty work of the Church in committees.

On Tuesday Committee work concluded along with a host of breakfasts, luncheons and dinners as Commissioners prepared to emerge from individual committee work to the plenary sessions on Wednesday.

Wednesday afternoon the Assembly reconvened to do the Work of the Assembly. 

On Thursday through Saturday morning the Assembly dealt with the complexities of Christology, late-term abortion, sexuality curriculum, among many other issues. The Assembly enthusiastically affirmed a paper titled "Hope in the Lord Jesus Christ" and a 40 million dollar Mission Initiative.
