Discussion Questions

Which opening course best identifies the real oversight duty without either local neglect or broader-court overreach?

2

If action is warranted, which next course best strengthens the local work while preserving clear responsibility?

3

Which result most faithfully embodies presbytery oversight as ordered, supportive, and reviewable?
