There certainly are solid men who support deaconesses such as R. Scott Clark. I don't think they are correct, though. |
What it "proves' Scott, is that the one does not lead to the other. The ARP has deaconesses and soundly defeated the idea of women elders. The use of the phrase "but they have also considered ordaining women...elders" implies that the one leads to the other. It does not.
And you are correct the OPC does not have them, it is the RP.
