I've read all the analyses (I think) and found them very thorough. The only thing I might add is this. From what I heard at Mission Presbytery and have read and heard about from other presbyteries, the most powerful arguments against O were made by pastors and elders who had gay family members and were willing to talk about the effects of the proposed amendment on genuine, flesh-and-blood people. With their testimonies, the debate left the logical and legislative analysis and became real.

I'll be watching the remaining votes. I'm sure many presbyteries will take no action but I hope most of them will go ahead and express themselves.

Also, a nice comment that we just have to share:

Doug: Thanks for all of your good reporting, nearly every day, on the stuff going on around Amendment O, etc. Yours is the best of sources and one of the most "forwarded" and copied that I have used. Thanks again.
