I realized that I didn’t make much sense. All those jurisdictions meet on the very large campus.
This church is where the PCA began. Very conservative.
No, what you said at first made sense to me, mostly because we have some similar issues in Northern Alabama. I just had not seen a church involved like this before.
As big as Briarwood is, I could easily see them being am attractive target that would require a very rapid response, so this does make sense.
Then again, the PCA is one of the best-armed denominations around. I know of at least 5 in my own congregation that carry on a regular basis, and I believe that number is light. :)
