How were congregation members in prayer? How was scripture used?
Over the past 14 years, the Sessions of BPC have discussed and explored issues with regard to our concerns and relationship with the PC (USA). After two years of intense study and prayer, the Session last summer initiated a broad-based, fair discernment process that was grounded in scripture and bathed in prayer. For example, special prayer services were held every other Wednesday evening throughout the process and a prayer vigil was held prior to the vote. Additionally, throughout the discernment process, members of our congregation committed to monthly hours of prayer time, covering 24 hours a day, seven days a week. During the nearly four-month discernment process, there were more than 40 events/presentations conducted before a broad representation of the church. We collected comment cards from the worship services on a weekly basis and framed many subsequent meetings and included Frequently Asked Questions documents on the church website.
