This is my first letter to the Administration Committee of the Session of First Presbyterian Church. In it, I express my concern that no nominations were allowed from the floor during this year's congregational meeting to elect church officers. Also appended in the file after the letter are the pertinent sections of the ARP denominational constitution, called the Form of Government:

Section G of Chapter III ("CONCERNING A PARTICULAR CONGREGATION OF THE CHURCH"), and
Section C of Chapter IX ("CONCERNING THE ELECTION, ORDINATION AND INSTALLATION OF RULING ELDERS AND DEACONS").
