Detterick promises the Coalition he'll
impose tighter control on conference presenters
by Doug King
11-8-00
A major topic for conversation at the Covenant Network
Conference was the recent statement by
GAC Executive Director John Detterick, in which he apparently said
that Dr. Dirk Ficca, in his presentation at last summer's Peacemaking
Conference, had made statements that were "out of bounds."
He apologized for being too slow and too cautious in
his response, and that of the GAC Executive Committee, condemning what
Ficca had said. In his words, he was "guilty of ... a) not
moving fast enough, and b) for speaking much too cautiously."
Some officers of the Witherspoon Society and Semper
Reformanda are preparing an open letter to Mr. Detterick, which will be
published here as soon as possible.
In the meantime, you might check some of the
background of this story in recent reports from Presbyterian News
Service and other pages listed below.
 update,

General Assembly Council chair Peter
Pizor has announced he will delay his plan to appoint a
conference-planning-review task force
