It’s a shame. The PCA had a church in San Fran that took off and grew. It left in order to have women deacons and elders . . .
To keep a conservative church in a non-conservative area you really need to make sure of who a person is before you make them a full church member.
PCA and PCUSA are very different Presbyterian groups. Perhaps it was a PCUSA church you were talking about in San Francisco.
I'm not sure what that statement even means. You are saying that the church left San Francisco? Or did the church leave the PCA? What did you mean, exactly?
