Part of the problem is parents and doctrine as well. I attended a PCA church for many years, and saw too many kids (that grew up with my kids, go trans or gay, later in life). As I reflect on our parenting styles, my wife and I were sometimes Called out for being to strict with our kids - looking back, I regret nothing at this time in life.

There are two factions in the PCA church - those that only see the meek and gentle side of Christ, and seek to emulate those aspects; and those like myself and my wife, that take a more Pauline view of charity and grace, recognizing there have to be Boundaries - ‘If a man doesn’t work, he shouldn’t eat’; ‘A man that doesn’t provide for his family, is worse than an unbeliever.’

The apostle Paul really understood the depravity of man … I could go on, but I’ll save it for my book.

I did a quick google search, and therefore now assume that you are referring to the Presbyterian Church in America. (I have also gotten "hits" describing it as the "Presbyterian Church of America.")

Is that correct?

95% of the people who are NOT members of the "Presbyterian Church in/of/for/with America" will have no idea what you are talking about.

Please instead be explicit, and don't use acronyms that are not readily understood.
