For the benefit of anyone seeking ordination in the PC(USA), I refer you to Frank Baldwin's list of Practices Called "Sin" by Our Confessions. Since anyone practicing any of these things is ineligible for ordination in this denomination, it would probably be a good idea for examining bodies (Presbyteries and Sessions) to keep this handy as well. For myself, I quickly found a few that I have to admit I am guilty of. Specifically:
2. failure to honor all in authority over me3. failure to submit with respectful obedience to the foregoing
4. failure to bear patiently the failures of the foregoing
Guess I don't need to worry about whether I'll be installed again any time soon (I'm already ordained as an elder).
