We toss the word "Presbytery" around in more than one context, and it can be confusing: the meeting in progress in Tennessee right now is a meeting of the General Presbyters (the Team of sort of co-Assistant-General-Overseers who preside over geographic areas of the world.) as opposed to the General Presbytery, consisting of all State/National Overseers, etc.

That second, more inclusive group, meets a few days before the General Assembly every other year, unless called in for a special session. I have yet to attend one of those sessions, as this will be my first Assembly as an overseer.
