Apparently Protestant Reformed Churches in America (PRCA or PRC) have been invited by NAPARC reps. to attend the next NAPARC meeting.
I personally don't think that is a good idea.
1.) According to PRCA folks, the PRCA is the only "pure" reformed denomination. Not the only church, but the only "purest" church.
2.) PRCA believe that all NAPARC denominations have abandoned the Truth of the Reformed Faith by holding on to common grace, according to PRC folks.
3.) All reformed denominations most reformed themselves by what happen in 1923 and 1953.
For example, one PRC member has written:
"In North America, the PRC stand alone as a denomination. This is unquestionable. And to say that between them and other Reformed denomination there is an issue, is not a sweeping statement. I even put it in a mild form, actually. There is a barrier, there is division, and there will not be unity until those other denominations will solve their problem with the issues related to 1923 and 1953. Until then, the PRC cannot and will not be part of NAPARC, for example. And correctly so, for the reasons briefly explained above."
Why then should the PRCA attend a NAPARC meeting? They don't desire to become part of NAPARC unless NAPARC churches reject common grace?
What do you guys think?
I would like to personally hear from those who know PRCA members.
