@LordTemplar1@ZacharyGarris I can handle & welcome any fruitful progress on functional female elders. But I can't handle attacks on PCA brothers and sisters who have expressed they don't feel welcome in our denomination and then the response is judgment & criticism with no interest to listen. Disappointing
@ZacharyGarris I am not addressing feminism or Side B. Don't try to divert. The immediate context is the "lament the PCA" letter. Which you disregard their concerns and lump it into the evils of DEI. Such a disrespectful take without any desire to own what may be true.
@andy_schreiber Andy, where is the conclusive evidence of violations? I don't have confidence in a spreadsheet about church websites. I am not saying there aren't potential violations. But let's not say that all churches listing ministries towards women are violating scripture or standards.
@MrMRCline The debate has to be around what is "unauthorized" & what is allowed. Who gets to define and answer that question? Both sides believe they do. It would be helpful to debate the unauthorized list or the allowed list topic by topic. Not sure it would move either position but maybe.
(3) Change the denomination from a Good-Faith Subscription to a Strict-Subscription denomination. They want to change what the PCA has always been when it was founded in 1973. Let's #keepthePCA.
They aren't seeking to #savethepca. They want to #changethePCA. Their goals (1) Pass a constitutionally binding Directory of Worship that tells one congregation what they can say, sing, and do in corporate worship. (2) Disorganize ministries that disciple and care for women.
#SavethePCA
The PCA is growing in membership, funding, church planting, and missions. We have highs in adult professions and child baptisms. Our RUF ministries are exploding on college campuses. Our MTW missionaries are planting churches. This is what needs to be saved.
@thisisfoster Seeking to have a profitable conversation around functional officers in the PCA. Can you help by identifying the errors of some PCA churches? Let me know which items on this list would constitute sinful behavior. I do not endorse or reject ALL things on this list.
