As a life-long Presbyterian, and in the PCA since it was founded, I believe that the minutes of session meetings should be available to members, excluding those pertaining to personnel matters. Maybe they are at some churches, but not mine. I also believe that a candidate for ministry in the PCA, or any other Presbyterian branch, shouldn’t be allowed to have any exceptions in their beliefs that pertain to the WCF or BCO, period. If they do, then they shouldn’t be ordained, or if already ordained, then shouldn’t be accepted into the presbytery.
