Last week, pastor Nathan Eshelman posted on Facebook an overview of The Great Lakes-Gulf Presbytery meeting that was held the on the first week of March.
“The current moderator of the Immanuel congregation also reported on the life and ministry of the church, purporting spiritual unity in the congregation as well as a season of growth despite pains,” Eshelman wrote. “The tensions were obvious between the congregation and some in the presbytery, but the presbytery did express love to Immanuel Church and their new ruling elders committed to working with the presbytery towards healing the divisions.”
“We all look forward to these divisions being healed. Also related to Immanuel, a motion carried that asked the moderator to establish a three man committee to investigate and bring recommendations concerning alleged slander and libel in the media against Immanuel and its elders by RPCNA members,” he wrote as he concluded his portion on Immanuel.
