Wayne,

I don't think is correct - at least by BCO standards. The reason is that a man must be licensed to preach if he preaches regularly, not if he preaches at all. Different Presbyteries in the PCA interpret regularly differently (in Great Lakes we defined it as preaching more than 12 times in the year, but it is possible to preach and not need to be licensed. Hence, it is possible to be an RE (or even unordained) and irregularly preach.
