Congregational Vote Postponed

Your session unanimously voted to postpone the congregational vote to October 19th. Because of the expiration of the EOP’s offer to repurchase the building expires that day, this meeting will absolutely have to take place.

After we reviewed the results of the Monday hearing with Judge Sellers, we all felt that enough had changed that we would need time to review the transcripts, which are not available until next Monday. What we do know now is that, should you vote to repurchase the building, the problem of the Synod of the Sun undoing the transaction is largely resolved. The second option has changed entirely. Since the judge has not issued a final judgment, there is no appeal to be made at this time, nor would we have to leave the building unless or until such judgment is final.

We will have informational meetings on Wednesday, October 15th at 6:30pm. There will be a presentation and we will answer written questions. We will also have informal informational meetings on Thursday and Friday (the 16th and 17th) at 11:30am in the Chapel.
