"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
That makes a difference, why, exactly?

Only PCA ministers are "ordained Presbyterian ministers"? How do OPC members feel about that? Does the PCA have exclusive claim to making "ordained Presbyterian ministers"?
Scott Hahn also taught at Chesapeake Theological Seminary, which (according to their own website), was founded by the PCA.
