Okay, okay.
It's like this, IMHO. All churches will have problems. All congregations will have problems, and the presbyteries and general assemblies too, because we are sinful and the devil is always trying to destroy the witness of the church in the world and to discourage members of the invisible Church. (Believe me, it can get personally very discouraging, I know from experience!) The church will always be like this until the return of Christ, then we'll find out what is was supposed to be like.

I don't think the PCA is any worse-off than any other Reformed denomination. The only one I'd really be worried about is the CREC, because so many who couldn't get their theology past the governing bodies of their denominations have taken refuge there.
