PCA

“It is no secret that the Presbyterian Church in America is in turmoil…. There may come a time when the Presbyterian Church in America needs to split. But until that time comes it should not splinter.” - Ref21

Podcast: “Todd reviews the ‘overtures’ voted on at the Assembly and what they mean in the big picture. Overall, it’s an encouraging affirmation of biblical standards and reformed doctrine.” - Ref21

“The overture includes any identity Christians may profess ‘that undermines or contradicts their identity as new creations in Christ,’ though it singles out ‘gay Christian,’ ‘same sex attracted Christian’ and ‘homosexual Christian’ among those identities. The denomination already bars any ‘practicing homosexual’ from ordination.” - RNS

“In anticipation of the 48th stated meeting of the PCA General Assembly in St. Louis, Missouri, an open letter … was published on June 2nd, 2021 for the purpose ‘of encouraging others about the present and future of the Presbyterian Church in America and also to address and put to rest some assertions that are being spread about the PCA that we feel to be inaccurate and harmful.’” - Ref21

“If you care to read the architects of Critical Theory—Benjamin, Horkheimer, Fromm, Adorno, Marcuse, etc.— you will find that their project was animated in large part by a desire to undermine Christianity and its moral and philosophical norms….How strange, then, that some in the PCA are urging us to employ Critical Race Theory (a species of Critical Theory) as an important lens through which we can better understand God, the Gospel, and humanity.” -

“While the PCA was not able to assemble this year due to COVID-19, today the study committee released their report on human sexuality for denominational consideration.

“…given some of these recent arguments against the PCA’s decision to declare the Nashville Statement to be biblically faithful, I thought it would be helpful to look at the clarity of the Westminster Standards, specifically as to what our standards have to say about sexual ethics and the ordering of sexual desires….While pastoral in nature, they are far more convicting and constricting than the Nashville Statement.” -

“Overture 4, titled’ ‘Declare the Council on Biblical Manhood & Womanhood’s “Nashville Statement” on Biblical Sexuality as a Biblically Faithful Declaration,’ was accepted on Thursday by a vote of 803 to 541.” - Christian Post

“The 16-page report, posted Tuesday on The Gospel Coalition’s website by PCA Pastor Kevin DeYoung, expressed concerns that ‘some of the principal voices in Revoice have not been careful enough with their labels, their theology, and their relational advice.’”- Christian Post

Doug Wilson: If you are in the PCA, barring a miracle from heaven, your denomination is finished.
