Amen! For some of us non-presby types, is there a summary of the cast of characters and the controversy anywhere?
Cast of Characters include, but are not limited to:

1. Doug Wilson
2. Steve Wilkins
3. Jeff Meyers
4. Mark Horne
5. John Barach
6. Norm Shepherd
7. James Jordan

These are some of the main characters you'll find on the internet. Wilkins, Meyers and Horne are all PCA TE's.

What Jordan is going off about is the examination of Steve Wilkins by the LA Presby and the ruling by the PCA Standing Judicial Commission concerning that exam. I would recommend Bob Mattes blog (ReformedMusings) or Lane Kiesters blog (Greenbaggins) for some details on the proceedings. With these two sites you should get a big dose of Presbyterian polity in action!!
Thanks, I had heard plenty about the names of #1, 2 prior to this, and gotten the gist of the FV already. However, James Jordan was a new name for me. Isn't Norm Shepherd the fellow who was at the center of the controversy back in the 70's at Westminster? And, Lane is also serving on the committee(?) that is bringing the charges against the LA Presby, right???
