Corrections to stories 04266 and 04274

by Jerry L. Van Marter

	A General Assembly backgrounder on ordination standards (story
#04266, June 4, 2004) incorrectly reported that the General Assembly
Permanent Judicial Commission (GAPJC) has ruled that in order for the way to
be clear for the ordination of non-celibate gays and lesbians, both G-6.0106b
and the authoritative interpretation of the Constitution dating back to 1978
must be repealed.

	It is the Advisory Committee on the Constitution, not the GAPJC, that
has - since 1997 - determined that both must be repealed for non-celibate gay
ordination to proceed.

	Due to a typographical error, the story on membership decline in the
PC(USA) reported that total giving by Presbyterians to the church in 2003 was
$2.9 million. The correct figure is $2.9 billion.
