Homos and women in the pulpit are not the shocking events, diminishing the Word of God to myth and pretexts is the shame of the church. |
Bob nailed it right on the head. There should be no surprise or shock as things spiral downward without an objective standard to appeal to. I also am without better options in my area. I choose to stay as our congregation is confessional and equally disgusted with the actions of our denomination. We are known in the area for this as many from Tenth in Philadelphia attend our services while vacationing in Ocean City. We are always discussing leaving as a congregation but just don't get to around to the pain it would be to do so. Some feel we can be witnesses and light to the denomination but I think there is no turning back for the PCUSA. Our Pastor looked very dejected when he returned from GA on Sunday. He seemed to have been hopeful that progress could be made but this GA seems to prove all is lost.
