No one can find evidence that the man was ever ordained

Trinity Presbyterian Church, Fairfax, Virginia, 1982. Even the screed "The Lost Soul of Scott Hahn" admits that he was a Presbyterian pastor.

He was never ordained BY THE DENOMINATION ... He says another Pastor ordained him ... he was never ordained by the denomination he now proudly says he left

"The Presbyterian Church of America (PCA) had no record of his ordination or any record of Trinity Presbyterian Church, the church where he had been a pastor. Mr. Hahn acknowledged these facts but offered an explanation. Trinity Presbyterian was an independent church with an average attendance of 30 when two of its elders laid hands on him in a private ceremony in 1982. He served as their Associate Pastor for about two years. The church remained independent until its closing in 1986. Mr. Hahn told me the reason for his private ceremony was because he did not feel he was very qualified to serve as an elder at age 26, but needed the ordination to take the pastor's exemption from Social Security."

So one more time, he was never an ordained Presbyterian minister
