Bunch of heretics.

...a harsh judgement, indeed...I assume you’re referring to the leaders making these rash decisions, and not to the people sitting in the pews, nor to the ministers who guide them...

...I see that you and I have a common theological origin, from the PCUSA, and have developed distinct reactions to that early deposit of teaching...you have tended to criticize what doesn’t pertain to your theology, as you have above, and as you do to the RCC, which is, of course, your perfect right to so do, and in a way, commendable...I, conversely make no such judgement of heresy against the entirety of any Church, as all have good and decent people participating, but I have no such qualms about calling out laxity and laziness of contemporary worship, thus not relating as well as I might with my churchmates...

Follow me on this. The power of the Presbyterian church flows up from the pews.

The members elect elders, the session.
The session calls pastors. The congregation votes and approves.
The elders and pastor got attend Presbytery.
Members of the Presbytery are elected to attend synod.
Members of the Synod are elected to attend General Assembly, where ultimate decisions are made.
Members of the General Assembly have risen from local bodies. Elected by local members.

No doubt there are Christians in this body, but the church itself is rotten to the core.
