How far must a session go in inquiring into the sexual practice of candidates for elder? If a person has acknowledged that they live in a committed, same-sex relationship, but refuses to answer the direct question if they are sexually active in that relationship, can the session proceed to install them? Or is the examination incomplete? These are among the questions with which the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission (PJC) must wrestle in deciding the appeal of a case presented to them Nov. 30. http://www.pcusa.org/pcnews/01443.htm
