Trinity Presbytery has cast the 87th "yes" vote needed to pass nFOG. As noted by the Presbyterian News Service, this is the first complete overhaul of the FOG since reunion in 1983. For seminary students taking the polity exam, this means no change in studying until January 2012, when the first exam based on nFOG will be given. The text of nFOG is posted on the nFOG website along with an FAQ and essays about the document. Also posted there is a document outlining key differences from the current FOG. The nFOG blog also has a great deal of information available, including a discussion arguing against many of the recent concerns over establishing a quorum under the new rules. Finally, the national leadership has released a letter concerning the pending official approval of nFOG. [PCUSA]
