Sean,
I was heavily involved in the original Kinnaird trial trying to be useful to the Wilkenings. I'm grateful for their courage and steadfastness in the gospel. It was frustrating to see how little help and support the W's received from within the OPC.
I'm not, however, very impressed by this line of argumentation. There's no evidence of a conspiracy. Such theories almost always rely on supposition, inuendo, and this is what this argument seems to do.
The explanation for why the OPC was so slow to act or why folk had a hard time getting to grips with this issue is much more complicated than any conspiracy theory admits. Human behavior is usually too complicated to be explained by simple conspiracy theories.

I certainly pray that the PCA does a better job of things than the OPC. See, The Orthodox Presbyterian Cover-up by Paul Elliott at http://www.trinityfoundation.org/latest.php . I´m afraid even in the best circumstances committee reports really don´t accomplish anything and sometimes, as per Elliot's piece above, only aid to make things worse.
