The only time I ever posted anything there was to ask why the ARP had adopted the 1903 PCUSA revisions that the OPC rejected in 1936 because in the words of one detractor they represented "a switch to Arminianism." I received a good answer, that the ARP in the mid 20th century tended to follow the PCUS very closely and the PCUS had adopted the additional chapters a few years prior, but my question also caused a short lived furor when at least one of the ministers argued that there was nothing wrong with them. |
That is very true. The ARP for many years suffered from "big brother/little brother" syndrome. They have, I do not think they really understood that big brother is gone right now. You can almost track the changes in the ARP by watching what happens in the PCUS + 15 yrs. Thankfully they never adopted Female Elders (either TE or RE). It is a denomination that is in some serious need of some leadership overall.
