The church in question is part of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) denomination (www.epc.org), which does not condone gay marriage. The larger Presbyterian Church USA (www.pcusa.org) most likely does support gay marriage, but I haven’t looked into it. BTW, there is a very large net between the church and Top Golf that was put up by Top Golf and then increased. To get balls into the church property, golfers probably have to be trying very hard to do so. I think that a fully enclosed net is the best answer.
it may be judgement on the Presbyterian Church for accepting gay marriage — it’s raining (golf) balls ;-P
You need to keep your Presbyterians straight.
Do you mean any better than they're keeping themselves?
No wonder some folks in the Presbos in the US try to hide their affiliation. Sad puppies...

"One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?"
Yet, one cannot say “Presbyterians” are like this or that as quite frankly they do not share the same beliefs between the PCUSA and the PCA say.
Assuming there are still some straight Presbyterians, why is it your responsibility to keep them straight?
Aren't these among the same guys who squeal and protest every time someone mentions 33,000 denominations of Protestantism?
I guess it depends on whose ox is being gored. It remains perfectly OK to say you Catholics, or simple Catholics. But then again, I'm pretty sure there are no Catholic moderators either.
Are you referring to a certain recent convert to Catholicism?
Shouldn't you be pinging a person when they you mention them in a post?
Saying "Protestants" or "Pentecostals" or "Presbyterians" would not be making it about an individual Freeper.
But how do you address them when they are subsets without a formal name? For example, what are we to call those Pentecostals who are ruled by Bible codes, believe in UFOs and aliens, advocate the notion of Grey's feeding off of human flesh, have a drunken bartender as a leader, and thrive on their religious innovations like Ishtar Mary? How about those who sit at home in their La-Z-Boy as their family's own pope with their doctrine being whatever they think up at the moment after a few scotch and tonics and a reading of their truncated scriptures?
The term "your group" seems to fit pretty well.
No dice. If the group of believers does not have a formal name then describe their beliefs.
