Leaving the PCA

I have loved the PCA and considered it a wonderful privilege to serve our Lord there for well over forty years. I must now, however, leave the PCA.

Written by Al Baker | Friday, June 12, 2020

I could cite many other issues of concern but the crowning blow has been the issue of homosexuality in the PCA. Over the past two years, perhaps you have followed the controversy with the Revoice Conference in St. Louis and the many overtures at our General Assembly to address the issue of what many are...

The heart of the Report is comprised of twelve affirmations that set forth the consensus of the committee and hopefully of the entire denomination.

Written by Denny Burk | Monday, June 1, 2020

The report is really long, but the heart of it is comprised of twelve affirmations that set forth the consensus of the committee and hopefully of the entire denomination. So even if you are not able to read the entire document, you at least need to read the twelve statements. They address every major point... Continue Reading

My Problem with the PCA Study Committee Report on Human Sexuality

In my view, the pro-Greg Johnson and pro-Missouri Presbytery group were actually the winners with the publication of this Report.

Written by Larry Ball | Monday, June 1, 2020

The poignant issue for the PCA is…the ordination of men who publicly identify as gay-Christians.  On this issue the document leaves the progressive side a wide-open pathway to capture the PCA.  On page 31, the document says, “Insofar as such persons display the requisite Christian maturity, we do not consider this sin struggle automatically to...

The 48th PCA General Assembly Postponed: Some Questions to Consider

While the PCA Administrative Committee’s action is understandable the Assembly cancellation raises important and unavoidable questions.

Written by Brad Isbell | Tuesday, April 14, 2020
