Jack Miller and Arthur Kushke File Charges against Norman Shepherd
At Presbytery of Philadelphia
Presbytery later determined that these charges were later inadmissible. Kuschke appealed to G.A. of the OPC, and the 1979 G.A. affirmed the Presbytery’s decision not to admit the charges Kuschke had filed against Shepherd.
The Presbyery refused to consider the particular evidence on which the charges were based because charges were not properly brought to presbytery. For formal charges to be proper, they must be supported by proper specifications—that is admissible evidence. Presbyery judged that such evidence was lacking and so refused to consider the charges as presented.
