Yes, but don't forget that many of the Presbyterian USA congregations are also conservative and do NOT support the gay agenda being shoved down our throats either!

Hmmmm. Us PCA folks seem to be all over this thread. For us, Schism was good.

The Evangelical Presbys and the PCA are two different branches from the steam that broke off from what is today the PCUSA in during the fundimentalist/modernist controversies of the 40's. The Orthodox Presbys, Bible Presbys, and Reform Presbys actually were first, then PCA (which the Reformed Presbys joined) and more recently the Evangelical Presby's. I will always remember my liberal pastor in a United Presby in the 60's telling my parents that the Bible was just a book written by a bunch of smart Jews when they asked why the Bible was not preached in our church. That was the beginning of our families association with the fundies.
