It’s more like the original church.

Yes. That's what we were trying for. Less "church" and more Jesus.

This is but one of many reasons the congregation of my church LEFT PCUSA. Cost us some to get out of old contracts and keep church records and property but worth it. I’ve been in that church over 15 years, deacon and chair of bd of deacons for 7 and could never see what good PCUSA was to us. PCUSA was like seagulls - reps would drop in, dump on us, and leave.

Did your congregation have to go to court to accomplish this?

“Racist Nation” = refusal to roll over and allow themselves to be beheaded by Hamas.

The wife and I checked out their local church 8 years ago or so. Seemed nice did things in the community. I checked into theri beliefs from the synod, and forget it. The local church might have been fine, but how could a Biblical church remain under that kind of PC, and outright evil direction? We left and continue to pray for them.

Exactly right. The other MAINLINE Protestant churches are similar. It's hush-hush at the local level. They won't say in church that they're getting abortion coverage in their medical plan.

“If you would happen to go there, they’re so desperate for members, they’d be thrilled to see you.”

I am quite happy where I worship now. If I was going to ever switch to a different church, it would not be Presbyterian.

The Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUSA) is about to release a report which denounces Israel as a 'racist' nation which has absolutely no historical, covenantal, or theological right to the Holy Land.

You mean unlike the ancient Jews in the days of Yehoshu`a Bin Nun who never discriminated, never hurt anybody, never conquered anything, and went around building "museums of tolerance?" [/sarcasm]
