On June 22, 2012 the 32nd General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church declared its affirmation of the Free Exercise clause of the Constitution of the United States, especially as the freedom of religious expression relates to abortion.

A small group of weary but grateful evangelical commissioners gathered together following the plenary session, which ended at 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning. They all gave glory to God for the miracle they had witnessed, offered prayers of thanks, and concluded their time together by singing the doxology.

In general, evangelical churches looking for succor or safety, or for accommodation of their enduring beliefs and practices in a progressive era, will be disappointed. Little quarter was given, and other than being able to query candidates about their view of ordination standards, or to expect repentance of the ordained, little ground was gained in the 220th General Assembly.

Others acknowledged that although many had been scouring the Twittersphere and blog sites, evidence of the so-called bullying that prompted McCabe's resignation from the post, have not been found. Those present wanted to hear and see evidence because they genuinely desired not only justice for their vice moderator but a restoration of trust in the assembly. References to rumors, hear-say, innuendo, accusations and cyber-bullying had been heard, but no evidence produced.
