[1] 350 Evangelicals form Church of Scotland Evangelical Network for Reformation and Renewal within the Kirk

A 19 June 2013 article on VirtueOnline titled “PERTH, Scotland: Statement from the gathering of Church of Scotland Evangelicals” reports that a 14 June 2013 press release from the Church of Scotland Evangelical Network announced that a 14 June 2013 gathering of 250 evangelicals from the Church of Scotland in Perth, Scotland, formed a network of evangelicals who have made the clear decision to remain in the Church of Scotland and to work for its reformation and renewal.

The press release said:

“We believe that the Church of Scotland remains an important vehicle for reaching the whole population of Scotland with the Gospel and, despite recent decisions, believe that God is still at work among us. We also believe that we can remain with integrity.

“We urge others to join with us and to remain in the Church of Scotland, as we seek to restore and rebuild our Church.”

[2] Oregon Planned Parenthood Conference Provides Valentine Cards for Teens

The May 2013 Oregon Adolescent Sexuality Conference in Seaside, Oregon, guided in large part by Planned Parenthood and by Brad Victor, a “sexuality education expert” with the Oregon Education Department, provided valentine cards for teens with messages including:

“Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m wearing my NuvaRing, now I’m ready for you.”

“You’re like my birth control implant . . . I’ve got you under my skin.”

“The only thing that can come between us is a condom!”

“My love for you is like the IUD, long lasting and dependable!”

An attendee from the American Life League wrote of the conference:

“The content of the talks presented to teens brought in from fourteen school districts was shocking and reprehensible beyond belief. It encouraged sex, discouraged chastity by making it seem impossible and odd, worked hard to normalize immorality and perversion, and bashed Christianity. The handouts that were available belonged to the same genre.”

Edouard has been convicted in criminal court of four counts of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist and one count of entering into a pattern/scheme of exploitation by a therapist, and sentenced to one year in prison on each of the exploitation counts to be served consecutively, and five years on the pattern/scheme charge to be served concurrently with the others. Edouard is currently appealing his prison sentence.

Edouard has denied all of the charges against him and has filed a countersuit against the four women. The trial is tentatively scheduled for June 2014.

[7] Reformed Church in Zimbabwe Pastor Accused of Twice Impregnating Housemaid and Inducing Her to Abort the Pregnancies

A 24 June 2013 Newsday article by Charles Laiton titled “RCZ Pastor in Sex Scandal” reports that the Rev. Menard Zvenyika of the Pamushana congregation (Reformed Church in Zimbabwe ) (RCZ) in Nyika, Zimbabwe is named in a sex scandal accusing Zvenyika of twice impregnating his housemaid and inducing her to abort the two pregnancies.

The Pamushana church’s elders have accused the RCZ leadership of attempting to downplay the scandal and have prepared a petition to RCZ moderator which includes:

“As a matter of urgency, please kindly reinstitute a new team of investigators who are honest, reliable, God-fearing and who are drawn from all the other bodies of the church to bring a balance. A team dominated by ministers of religion has proved problematic.”

[8] Reformed Church in America Removes Conscience Clause on Women Ministers from Book of Church Order

During the 20 June 2013 session of the 2013 General Assembly of the Reformed Church in America (RCA), the assembly officially ratified the removal of the "conscience clauses" from the Book of Church Order (BCO). The 2012 RCA General Synod voted to remove from the BCO the "conscience clauses"--statements that spell out how RCA members can and cannot conscientiously object to the ordination process of women.

Between the 2012 and 2013 assembly meetings, the required two-thirds of RCA classes voted in support of synod's action, with thirty-one classes voting in favor of removing the clauses and fourteen voting to keep the clauses.

Originally adopted in 1980, the "conscience clauses" were intended to maintain unity and peace despite a diversity of opinion concerning the ordination of women, which had been adopted by the RCA in 1979.

[1] Reactions within the Church of Scotland to Approving Congregational Choice of Whether or Not to Allow Homosexual Ministers

In the aftermath of the May 2013
Church of Scotland (CoS) General Assembly (GA)’s decision to allow individual congregations to decide whether or not to allow homosexual clergy, there have been several reactions within the Kirk.

A 12 June 2013 The Scotsman article by Alistair Munro titled “Church of Scotland ‘Not in Crisis’ over Gay Clergy” reports that though the CoS is insisting that it is “not in crisis” over the issue of homosexual ministers, several CoS churches and ministers have left or are considering leaving the Kirk.

The presbyteries of Lewis CoS in the
Western Isles, Logie, and St. John’s in Dundee, Scotland have expressed discontent with the May 2013 CoS GA decision. Benbecula CoS pastor the Rev. Andrew Downie has resigned from the ministry, and his former church along with Kinloch CoS and Stornoway High CoS on the Isle of Lewis are expected to vote on whether or not to leave the Kirk.

In an article 19 June 2013 article titled “Church of Scotland Presbytery of Lewis Statement”, the Stornoway Gazette reported that the Lewis Church of Scotland Presbytery issued an 11 June 2013 statement to its member churches as follows:

“The Church of Scotland Presbytery of Lewis states its total opposition to the selection, training and ordination for the Ministry of Word and Sacrament and the Diaconate of those in same sex Civil Partnerships.

“As a Presbytery, we strongly support the Church’s affirmation of historic and current doctrine and practice in relation to human sexuality.

“The Presbytery of Lewis continues to affirm that the Word of God is the supreme rule of faith and life and believes that any proposal which leads to the selection, training and ordination of those in same sex relationships is contrary to the revealed will of God in Scripture.

“Presbytery is deeply saddened by the fact that this matter has caused division within the Church of Scotland and within congregations.

“Presbytery respects the right of individual congregations to review their relationship with the Church of Scotland but urges its people to maintain the unity of their fellowship.”

A 12 June 2013 The Sun article titled “Kirk Set to Split over Gay Ministers” reports that Holyrood Abbey Parish Church (HAPC) in
Edinburgh, Scotland is splitting from the Kirk, with HAPC pastor the Rev. Phil Hair saying that the elders had unanimously decided to leave the CoS “with great sadness”.

A 16 June 2013 The Herald article titled “Kirk Could Lose £1m a Year over Gay Ordination” reports that the CoS stands to lose UK£1 million per year as congregations opposed to homosexual ministers leave the Kirk.

[2] Twenty U.S. Congressmen Petition Secretary of State John Kerry to Urge Romanian Government to Return Church Properties Seized during Communist Rule after 1945

A 14 June 2013 article by ‘MTI’ on Politics.hu titled “US Congressmen Press for Return of Church Property from Romanian Gov’t” reports that twenty U.S. Congress members have set a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry urging the Romanian Government to return Hungarian church property confiscated under the communist government in power after 1945.

The letter includes:

“The communist government of Romania confiscated 2,140 schools, hospitals, orphanages and other charitable and civic institutions from the Roman Catholic, Hungarian Reformed, Evangelical Lutheran, and Unitarian churches, as well as 1,980 Jewish communal properties, as well as all properties, including church buildings themselves, from the Greek Catholic Church that it summarily banned….”

The letter additionally requests the U.S. government to monitor the case of the Szekely Miko Reformed High School in Sepsiszentgyorgy (Sfantu Gheorghe), Romania, which was returned to the ethnically-Hungarian Romanian Reformed Church (RRC) by the Romanian Property Restitution Committee, then appealed to the Buzau Court of Appeal.

On 28 June 2012, the appeals court reversed the original decision of restitution to the RRC, fined the RRC retroactively, and sentenced three members of the Romanian Property Restitution Committee to three years imprisonment for performing their duty.

The supreme court of Romania will rule in the case of the three accused on 27 June 2013.
