I’m not surprised. the Presbyterian Church and the ELCA have been in fellowship for some time. Only, what with the upheaval within the ELCA since their 2009 vote, one would think the PCA would get a clue...

Churches with declining membership will not be able to continue supporting their retirement programs with married ministers with dependents.

Ask Fidelity ~ they sell a vast number of retirement programs to nonprofits and churches.

The Presbyterian Church USA has decided they'd rather start competing for what they view as a large number of homosexual ministers just waiting in the wings.

They'll get some, Fur Shur, butin the end there just aren't that many gays who are that involved in church stuff.

This approach is not designed to draw in new members which means that at some date certain the PCUSA will have to start selling real estate to keep the retirement plans funded.

As i have stated from day one. The Real Gay Agenda is to destroy the Church from within . They are getting very close to calling this a Victory.

What is the church, the building or the people? Many of these “churches” are going to end up as empty buildiings being put up for sale. I think the people who are still going to church want something more than “whatever” Christianity.
