LPCUSA pastors express concerns over new ordination standards

The Presbyterian Church (USA) recently gave final approval to an amendment to its Book of Order that will require clergy candidates to be questioned about their views on LGBT ideology.
Known as Amendment 24-C, it was part of a proposal known as the Olympia Overture, which sought to amend G-2.0104b of the Book of Order to require candidates to be asked about their views on issues including orientation and gender identity.
The measure was approved for consideration last year at the 226th PCUSA General Assembly by a vote of 297-130. From there, the measure needed to get a simple majority of presbyteries, or regional bodies, to vote in favor of it.
