The Administrative Committee of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) laid out a transition plan Friday in response to their former stated clerk retiring after falsely accusing some ministers of sin weeks before the denomination’s 52nd General Assembly.

The committee noted that during their Thursday meeting, they accepted the Rev. Bryan Chapell’s request to retire as stated clerk, which they said was “effective immediately,” according to a statement published in byFaith , the denomination’s online magazine.

The committee also noted that given the abrupt timing of Chapell’s retirement, it “decided unanimously to employ Ruling Elder John Bise as a provisional replacement pending his examination by the Theological Examining Committee.”
