[PAR35]

Both sides in the case of a Washington County church that obtained a temporary restraining order against Washington Presbytery have agreed to work out ground rules that will enable them to negotiate further about when and how Peters Creek Presbyterian Church can leave the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Although both sides must first approve the details, "they promised not to take a vote to leave without 10 days' notice and we promised not to remove the pastor or [lay governing board] without 10 days' notice," said the Rev. David Bleivik, executive presbyter of Washington Presbytery.

Consequently, a hearing scheduled for yesterday in Washington County Common Pleas Court was postponed indefinitely.

This has been a long time coming. Now that the gates have been opened more will follow, rightly so.

The PCUSA has been overtaken by godless liberals who deny even the Deity of Christ.

2 Corinthians 6:16-18

16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you[a] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“ I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore

“ Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “ I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty.”
