Mollie @ Get Religion does a fine job summarizing and discussing the relative paucity of media coverage as well as different takes on the General assembly here.

Back in early May I marveled at the general lack of coverage of the United Methodist Church convention in Ft. Worth. When the Southern Baptists met in Indianapolis in early June, there was a fair amount of coverage. But the Presbyterians’ General Assembly, the big biennial meeting of the denomination’s highest governing body, was held in San Jose and the coverage was again paltry.

I find it interesting that this story did nto sell.  Perhaps it was due to the complexities of actually explaining the process or what the votes actually mean that are off-putting.  Some might argue for irrelevancy of the church.  Some might say that it is too small of a communion and bears too little controversy overall to merit a lot of press.  We will see what happens next June 28.  If the decisions of the GA are upheld, that will get media coverage for sure.
