And all this time, I thought it was the Episcopalians!
That’s the old Church, they have split…the new one endorses gay marriage, woman “ pastors”, and the TransXYZ agenda. Ditto with the Methodists, Presbyterian, dying sects.
Splitting up, drying out and blowing away.
On my father’s side, the ancestors who served in the Rev War were 3 Dutch Reform, 1 Presbyterian, 1 Congregationalist, and 1 Episcopalian. One of the Dutch Reform ancestors led one of the charges at Yorktown under Alexander Hamilton. On mother’s side, one of my ancestors watched the battle from a hill while serving as a driver for the army. A couple more serving might have been Presbyterian as they were Scotch-Irish. Long term military family. But the important thing to me was that they were ALL fighting for a new country, side by side, regardless of their religious persuasions. Had uncles and cousins on the British side, but no direct ancestors.
Actually, I thank God and whoever he uses.
Being able to trace my family back to Scotland over 500 years, I am deeply ashamed over what has happened to the, once great, Presbyterian church in America. From over 6.2 million members in 1960 to 800 thousand today - all due to the liberal takeover that started in the 1970s. I could make a strong case the PCUSA can barely be classified as Christian any more. Very sad.
As a former PCUSA Presbyterian it was regularly preached to the pew sitters that the Presbyterians had a major role in creating the US Constitution.
These exhortations were done to the pew sitters, while at the same time the PCUSA Leadership was preaching Socialism.
Joseph Galloway, former speaker of the house, fled back to England, blaming Presbyterians for the war, calling it a “religious quarrel.”
Speaker of which House?
I had to look it up...Speaker of the House, Pennsylvania colony.
Presbyterians: We drink, we fight.
