Thanks for posting this. Very interesting read.

Left the PCUSA many years ago, despite a good local congregation. Couldn't continue to have them taking our hard-earned tithes to "re-imagine God" in their own image. We have not returned to a denominational church since. Despite the protests of RC's and others, I have no reason to believe that the first church of Christians was anything other than non-denominational.

Having said that, I wish you the best in finding your new church home.

Thank you very much! Is RC an Orthodox Presbyterian?

I'm an Elder at my church (PCUSA) and about a year ago we joined the confessing church movement, which is a move toward more traditional, conservative theology. The liberalization of PCUSA is not reflected in many congregations.

I have been struggling with this dilemna for some time now and have been sorely tempted to leave my local Presbyterian church. If I were to do so it would be in deep trouble financially since my efforts add about 20-25% of its income.

It has served me well personnally having married me, baptisized my sons and buried my precious wife so the emotional tie is very strong. But I grieve over the denomination's national leadership.
