Broadening Competency for Testimony in Church Trials
An overture is introduced to broaden the competency of witnesses before an ecclesiastical trial. It addresses the issue of allowing atheists to testify in certain presbyteries, with the option to restrict this to Christians in others. Another overture critiques this by suggesting competency for all regardless of belief, leaving it to the court to judge credibility. This proposal aims to ensure fair testimony while addressing the nuances of belief within ecclesiastical trials.
