OK...so how will this be changed?  And why would a church need a "Constitution"?  Is the Bible not enough?

 

Gen 2:21-24 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; (22) And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. (23) And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. (24) Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Again why?  In the Bible it tells us how God expects us to live, and to worship. That is the only set of by-laws or constitution there should be.  Does man create such  things as a matter of convenience for himself?

The Presbyterian Church USA is the liberal wing of the Presbyterian churches.  First Presbyterian Church of Florence in is that wing of that Calvinist clanhood.

 

The churches in the Shoals Presbytery affiliated with the PCUSA are listed here:

Here is the story on this and opther unscriptural nonsense the PCUSA has gotten itself into as it continues on its Gadarene slide into heresy::

 

<<<The top legislative body of the Presbyterian Church USA has voted to recognize same-sex marriage in its church constitution.

 
The amendment, approved 429-175 by the Presbyterian General Assembly meeting in Detroit, would add language that marriage can be the union of "two people," not just "a man and a woman." It requires approval from a majority of the 172 regional presbyteries, which will vote on the change over the next year. 

 

Also Thursday, the assembly passed a separate measure that will take effect this weekend, voting 371-238 to allow ministers to preside over gay weddings in states where such unions are legal. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia recognize same-sex marriage.

"Yesterday was a really historic day in our denomination and in the country," Alex McNeill, executive director of church advocacy group More Light Presbyterian, told the Los Angeles Times on Friday. “For some people it felt like coming home to the church again. People will see that the Presbyterian Church is a place where you can bring your full self.”

 From the same source I cited above:

 

<<<But the conservative Presbyterian Lay Committee disputed the assembly's actions, calling them “an abomination."[They got THAT right!]

 

"The Presbyterian Lay Committee mourns these actions and calls on all Presbyterians to resist and protest them,” the committee said in a statement Thursday. “God will not be mocked and those who substitute their own felt desires for God’s unchangeable truth will not be found guiltless before a holy God.”>>>
