Presbyterian theology is primarily concerned with asserting the crown rights of the Redeemer, not with meeting human needs. The Presbyterian church has never been preoccupied with "reaching the unsaved," but with the faithful administration of Word and sacraments.
While I never would have thought of using the word "crown" like this in a sentence, this is an excellent summary of some things I have not quite been able to articulate in response to this question.

Thanks for putting this so succinctly!

It's so well said, the banana's have been summoned to celebrate:



Scott,

I just have to say how much I appreciate how funny you are!
