I think the PCUSA employees who deny the physical Resurrection of Christ should be the first to go.
They are probably the ones with the best job security.
Indeed. However we can always take comfort in the fact that no matter how liberal PCUSA ministers are on issues such as the resurrection, the virgin birth, women teaching and having authority over men in church, sex, marriage, etc., these same preachers somehow manage to turn into “right wing fundamentalists” when it comes to the issue of tithing ;)
Interesting!
