62) The Book of Order has this section (G-6.0106b), known as the 'chastity and fidelity' section or 'Amendment B': Those who are called to office in the church are to lead a life in obedience to Scripture and in conformity to the historic confessional standards of the church. Among these standards is the requirement to live either in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman (W-4.9001), or chastity in singleness. Persons refusing to repent of any self acknowledged practice which the confessions call sin shall not be ordained and/or installed as deacons, elders, or ministers of the Word and Sacrament. In overtures to this year's General Assembly meeting, some presbyteries have called for eliminating this section altogether. What is your opinion? Do you favor, or oppose, eliminating this section?

63) Indicate your opinion on each of these items. Some Presbyterians think it would reduce conflict in the church if ministers and congregations could choose their presbyteries without geographic limits.
