The Westminster Confession of Faith 31.4 says that “Synods and councils …are not to intermeddle with civil affairs which concern the commonwealth, unless by way of humble petition in cases extraordinary; or, by way of advice, for satisfaction of conscience,

I understand that churches don't want to get engaged in government - but all these good Presbyterians feel that allowing society to mutilate children under the guise of a flash-in-the-pan post-modern ideology doesn't rise to the level of "conscience?"

Thank you for sharing the WCF stance. It sounds like a more serious issue may be drift from the Westminster confessional standards.

I’d like to see the reasoning from the Assembly discussion around how WCF 31.4 does *not* apply here.
