Judge Extends Restraining Order in Erskine Case

Seems like the rumor has been confirmed:

Edited to add: The Aquila Report has also picked up the story now. Read their article here.

Erskine Ruling?

There are rumors going around that the judge has issued a ruling in the temporary restraining order case against the ARP. I have not seen primary sources on this yet, but Pastor Tim Phillips is reporting it, and I trust him. I still want to know details, though. (Google News search turns up nothing, at this time.)

This is disheartening, but we should keep a few things in mind:

1. This is just the latest move in this legal battle. It is not the end.
2. Even if the judge had ruled in favor of the ARP, it would not have been the end of the issue, since the anti-ARP faction has made it clear that no matter what the outcome was in this restraining order case, they were going to push forward (see the "Alumni for Erskine" Facebook group for such statements).
3. We ought to continue praying, as this is far from over.

I will let you know if and when I can find any details about all this. One thing is certain, this year's Synod is sure to be interesting.

Erskine Court Decision within 10 Days

Looks like we will have to wait no more than 10 more days to hear the judge's ruling in the case of the temporary restraining order by the Erskine Alumni Association against the ARP. Per this report, it seems there was new evidence presented by both sides today and both sides agreed that more time was needed to respond. So, we are waiting for the judge's ruling, which will be in a maximum of 10 days. Continue praying!

Remember the ARP in Prayer

Tomorrow (Thursday, March 24) is the court date to see if the temporary restraining order issued against the ARP should be extended or not. Please be in prayer that it not be extended, so we can move on past this ugliness and get on with the business of reforming Erskine.
