Ugh, why stay on the dying tree?
Why on earth would one stay in a church one fundamentally disagrees with?
Leave!
It is well known that Gaystapo members will infiltrate these meetings to perpetrate voter fraud to jam up these decisions. And they likely have facilitators within the church’s ranks.
It would seem that people are taking a stand where they can.
They’re tired of the Left taking over everything in order to advance their agenda.
Now the best thing they can do is leave en masse. To stay is to support the very thing they abhor. Time to shift to a church which supports their values instead of spitting in their faces.
And who says that attendance at church/voting never changes anything.
The outcome of staying in a liberal church is predictable.
I think that is a breakaway group that is only slightly more conservative than the PCUSA. They left the PCUSA but don’t want the theological rigor of the PCA, OPC, or even the EPC. I’ll have to do some reasons to confirm that.
National Religious Coalition on Creation Care

They want to continue ordaining women is the big reason.
perhaps they weren’t invited to OCP or PCA
After a little more reading it appears that they want to keep the PCUSA, but without the gay issue.
They will continue the other liberal policies, such as women being ordained as ministers.
x number of members have had enough and realize that the PCUSA is apostate. They voted to leave.
y realize that there is a problem but don't feel comfortable with change and thing they can fight off the wolves howling at the door.
z are apostate and are died in the wool PCUSA and are lock step with what this denomination are doing.
Y and Z, whether Y recognizes it or not, have crawled into bed together and as a result that church will continue to spiral out of control.
There are.
Wondering about this too......I’ m PCA and our denomination separated from the USA mainline 30 plus years ago.
Whyever would this pastor remain in an apostate church?
ok, to me (as you would say of course! :) it makes more sense for a united, conservative church
They really think that in a few years they won't say "ok, why not homosexuals?"
Darn that slippery slope. This is a lesson for all of us. each little step looks so easy: "why not divorce", "why not legalise hom sexua lity"? and then wa-bang we get to here.
exactly. Are “Y” so idiotic that they don’t see the path cleared laid out? It’s been repeated so many times by so many denominations. Idiots
