From The Christian Post:
An Oklahoma congregation affiliated with Presbyterian Church (USA) has voted to leave the denomination and join the more conservative Evangelical Covenant Order.
Members of First Presbyterian Church of Edmond voted Sunday to continue the process of dismissal from the Indian Nations Presbytery of PC(USA). According to the Edmond Sun, of those present, 815 voted in favor of dismissal while 55 voted against. Voting members had to be in good standing and present for the proceedings.
“I think this vote, a huge landslide vote, is a vindication of the direction that the leadership felt God was calling this congregation to move toward,” said Mateen Elass, senior pastor of First Presbyterian, in an interview with the Edmond Sun.
