On January 22, the Presbytery of Baltimore voted overwhelmingly to affirm Ordination Amendment 08-B by a vote of 106 YES, 38 NO.
Special thanks to Don Stroud, TAMFS Baltimore, the More Light Churches and all those working to end discrimination against LGBT Presbyterians and their families now. A note from Don Stroud of TAMFS Baltimore follows this note of celebration and gratitude.
We want to alert all of you working in local presbyteries to pass 08-B to be paying attention to these "No Action" efforts in your presbytery and be ready to address them.

Thanks be to God for this victory in Baltimore Presbytery! Together We are building a Church for all God's people.
with hope and grace,
