A good rule of thumb is to see if the church adheres to the Westminister Confession of Faith and if it is Presbyterian Church of American or of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Those denominations are solidly in the conservative camp. I can’t speak for Cumberland Presbyterians much. Nor of Orthodox Pres (but I assume I know where they stand). PC USA is a very mixed bag.

I find the 70% figure a bit hard to believe. Most ministers had a calling. To have a calling and be that wishy-washy seems to mock the whole idea of a calling.

I attended an Orthodox Presbyterian church when I lived in Morristown NJ. Westminster Confession and the Bible. Theat congregation will emphasize the Bible comes first.

Oh, I’m sorry. I missed seeing your post 30. Thank you for the information.

I was raised in the Presbyterian faith and feel comfortable in those churches, though for many years I have strayed from the straight and narrow. The last church I attended was the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC. The Rev. George Docherty was the pastor, and he was an eloquent speaker of the faith.
