The General Assembly of The Church of Scotland 2015
Leaders in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland felt “a deep sense of sorrow” after a decision by the Church of Scotland to allow people in same-sex civil partnerships to serve as ministers and deacons.
The Scottish decision was made by the General Assembly on the Mound in Edinburgh on Saturday, where the motion was passed by 309 votes to 182.
The outcome is the culmination of years of deliberation within the Church, which has traditionally close links with the Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI).

We understand that the country of Ireland will be voting on the issue on Friday May 22,2015. How will this vote turn out?
One more sellout to Satan’s minions, disguised as compassion. What part of the word ‘abomination’ isn’t clear, here?
You have your geography correct. On the other hand, “marriage equality” is a false premise, albeit a very successful one for those who have chosen to identify themselves by their sexual attractions and have long wished to have their mistaken identities validated by the state and the church.
