The General Presbyters are the few men who serve as leaders over Europe, Asia, North America, etc...

The International Presbytery is a meeting of all those Presbyters along with State and National Overseers.

(The use of the word Presbyters may be confusing things: we have a meeting in Korea in April of all Asia/Oceania Overseers, and it is the Regional Presbyters meeting.)

I look forward to hearing what the Church of God In Christ special Speaker preaches about.

is it just me or is this starting earlier than I thought?

Looks like things open up on Tuesday morning, I didn't think they started till either that evening or the next morning.

Also anyone know what is coming up from the bdp committee? I didn't see much there on the website, mainly proxy info (which I am not sure if that is being discussed, or implemented this year, if it were to be implemented this year, we'll need to know the topics up for vote soon if we are to include the local church in on the decisions as expected to.

Any info on a shuttle schedule or is it too soon?

The Shuttle info will be released once we can finalize all of the details. One new feature this year will be that the Metro Buses run regularly from the Nashville International Airport (BNA) to downtown.

If you know which hotel you will be staying at, you can contact them directly to see what they offer.

Also, I try to post latest information on my blog, and you are more than welcome to check it out at: http://tncogop.blogspot.com

As the the earier question about the committee reports, they are available by going to: http://cogop.org/291145.ihtml

You will also notice that we will no longer refer to our gathering as the "General Assembly" but rather to reflect the International body, you will begin seeing all references changed to: "International Assembly."

Hope this helps.

I will now return to "lurkdom"

I believe Bro. McKinley can answer this also (if I may draw you out one more time kind sir), but I believe we are having a teen assembly again this year.

Plans are being made for a Teen Assembly.

THERE HAS BEEN A VOLPASTOR SIGHTING!!!! We're not worthy. We're not worthy.

I was asked to speak , but I declined....the gratuity was too small.

Hey I like the new name " International Assembly " Even if 90% will be from the 50 states and most of that from " The South ".. they say its the thought that counts.

Not nearly so much as before... a lot of the deep south U.S. folks attend "other" Assemblies now.

I was pleasantly surprised in 06 by how much more international it is becoming. It was very good to meet some pretty dynamic folks from Kiev and other places in the former USSR, and some impressive people from African nations.

Next step: Internationalize the location.

Or, baby steps...... move it out of the "southern" states.
