It’s official. Greg Johnson and his congregation have voted to leave the Presbyterian Church in America. It’s a sad departure, especially for a church that has been affiliated with the PCA since 1980. Arguably, however, it’s not only a sad departure. It’s a needful one.

In 2018 Memorial PCA hosted Revoice, a conference ministry dedicated to “supporting, encouraging, and empowering gay, lesbian, same-sex-attracted, and other LGBT Christians

In the spring of 2020, they raised some eyebrows by hosting a queer festival called Transluminate. The Q Collective describes Transluminate as “a short-play festival and celebration of transgender, agender, non-binary, genderqueer, and gender-fluid artists.

Needful, but not sad. And about 5 years too late.

More cleaning up is needed in St. Louis, however.

A slow, lingering death will ensue.

So far the PCA Presbyterians are getting rid of the preachers and churches that are apostate.

Let us hope the PCA continues on that path otherwise the PCA will become like the PCUSA presbyterians, the Methodists, or the Episcopals.

There's still a lot of "go along/get along" in the denomination. Some Prebyteries are good with church discipline, others, not so much.

“...celebration of transgender, agender, non-binary, genderqueer, and gender-fluid artists”

Oh great. Now we have an “agender” agenda.

Yeah, I gotta wonder whether this ‘vote to depart’ was more like an employee choosing to ‘resign his position’ prior to being fired.

Either way, this group’s view are not representative of the PCA.

I saw that, since Presbycast's Youtoob channel is something I've subscribed to.

From what I gathered from the article and from the summary of the last general assembly, I think your assessment is correct.
