The Presbytery of New York; by sanctioning the arrnngc-meni between Jr. l-'osdtck and the First' Presbyterian Church of New York has sanction an unethical arrange-j ment by continuing a preacher of another denomination In a Pres byterian pulpit who by repealed and studied utterances has created the Impression that he hohls light-! ly, 'if at all, the great facts and! doctrines of the New Testament ; which the church has throughout' her history confessed und embodi ed in her creeds. ! 7. We believe that the action of; the Presbytery of New York In! sanctioning the continuance of Dr.! Kosdick In a Presbyterian pulpit , when he refuses to accept our doc trinal standards and assails the es- sentlals of ull evangelical faith as embodied in creeds is highly Injur-i ions to the best interest of religion and minimizes the historis witnes-J sing of the Presbyterian church to the evangelical doctirnes o Chris-i tkinity. 8. The Presbytery of New York 1 1 errs In sanctioning the continuance of Dr. 1'osdlek in the First Prosby-!j terian Church of New York In thatjj It engenders and fosters a "delib erate and long-continued disloyal ty to the doctrinal standards" of our church und a "persistent dis obedience to the mandates of the general assembly." The Presbytery of New York errs in sanctioning the continuance of Dr. Fosdick in the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church of New York In that It considers Its own independent will and pleasure In opposition to the whole church. 10. The Presbytery of New York errs In sanctioning the arrange ment between Dr. Fosdlck and the First Presbyterian Church of New York by countenancing the disre gard for moral obligation laid up on Dr. Fosdlck and the First Pres byterian Church of New York when the assembly declared that "he (Dr. Fosdlck), ought not to continue to occupy a Presbyterian pulpit."
