Inclusion, Pluralism and the Presbyterian Church (USA) with Jack Haberer | Episode 188

The 226th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) is set to meet soon in Salt Lake City.  One of the many issues to be discussed is a proposal called the "Olympia Overture," which would formally prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ Presbyterians, but could according to some make it hard for those with different theological interpretations to remain in the denomination.  In this episode, I talked with retired PC(USA) pastor and former editor of Presbyterian Outlook Jack Haberer about the proposal and what it would mean for the denomination.
