I am curious what the outcome of this was. An elder was put on trial by his Presbytery because he didn't get his sick wife to church often enough. She summarizes elsewhere:
What was the outcome of this in GA? Did the general assembly rule against the man? If so, would this set a precedent
[The accused] has shown delinquency in the management of his household by the regular absence of his wife and daughter from the public means of grace in the corporate worship of the visible church.
Central to this case is the defendant’s wife, a woman in her 60’s who suffers from many medically substantiated chronic conditions and was formally classed as disabled in 1999 and covered by the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Also central to this case is extensive documentation by medical professionals substantiating the variable nature of the defendant’s wife’s illnesses and her difficulty in taking part in outside activities.
