In other non #pciga19 news, the PCI Young Adults team to South Africa departed this morning. Please pray for safe travels & good health on their journey to George. The team will partner for the next two with Sports Academy, sharing the gospel with young people through schools

Really encouraging to see over 120 people watching the #pciga19 stream this morning. Perhaps a greater emphasis on the very well-run online stream is one step to helping draw more full-time workers into the General Assembly week. Not ideal, but a small step in the right direction

[Conor Patton @conor_patton]

I should say, I was massively gutted not to have been able to speak to resolution 36 by the Voting Membership Task Group today due to work. So proud of @paddy_smyth using his influence in a remarkable way this morning to explore how better we can avoid such occurrences #pciga19

[PCI Youth Assembly @pci_ya]

Amazing work @paddy_smyth! Setting a BIG example to all our youth assembly delegates, and beyond, on how to use our influence #pciga19

[Presbyterian Church @pciassembly]

Votes for the amended resolution 28, 142
Votes against the amended resolution 28, 112
Therefore the amendment carries and is passed. A task group will now be appointed by the General Council.

Paddy Smyth @pci_ya rep brings an amendment to Resolution 28 asking for a task group to consult ways to make the Assembly more accessible #pciga19

[Presbyterian Church @pciassembly]

Rev McNeely responds "We do appreciate the contribution the @pci_ya has made this week. Personally I would like to see more younger people participate." #pciga19

[Presbyterian Church @pciassembly]

Paddy Smyth @pci_ya representative asks a question to Res 28 in relation to evidence gathered from target groups regards their feedback of the trial evening sessions #pciga19
