“The congregations leaving the PCUSA today are not joining the PCA. They are joining the newly-formed Evangelical Covenant Order (a name that must have been invented by Tom Cruise and John Travolta) or the Evangelical Presbyterian Church both of which are to the left of the PCA.”
A lot of PCUSA congregations, even those that can’t stand the leftward lurch, are mostly run by women. Women are not leaders in the PCA. If a congregation leaves the PCUSA for the PCA, their female elders and deacons could no longer hold those positions, unless there is some sort of exception for entire congregations moving over.
What killed PCUSA wasn’t ordaining women per se because congregations could just ignore it. Making women’s ordination mandatory was the death knell. My MIL left the church over it.
There are ways around sanctioning same sex marriage. You have to tell them the truth
No, no ordained women officers in the PCA. If the congregation wants to keep its women officers, it either goes EPC or ECO.
