G-d bless you!
I have been utterly perplexed and depressed about the passive attitude of the otherwise decent-seeming minister at the local Presby church. This explains EVERYTHING.
It's about the Benjamins, not about Christ.
"It's about the Benjamins, not about Christ."
Unfortunately thats the way it is in many churches and not just PCUSA. Churches are made up of people and people generally suck. In this case the PCUSA denomination keeps ministers from leaving by holding them hostage financially.
Other stats that are depressing are roughly 2/3rds of ministers in general don't beleive Jesus is the Son of God. Somewhere around there also don't necessarily beleive the Bible is the pure word of God.
These people generally became ministers because they wanted to help people and not because of their faith.
