Members of Fremont Presbyterian Church — the largest Presbyterian Church in the Sacramento region — ended months of speculation Sunday when they voted to leave their national denomination and join one that church leaders said reflects more traditional beliefs.

Comments? Discussion? There are some bolting and other aspects of PCUSA trying to become presbyteries inside presbyteries. The Greater Atlanta presbytery is one trying to do this. All this can only lead to the continued deterioration of PCUSA or its balkanization. A sad, but inevitable state for my former presbyterian home. I had many, many tears when I had to say good-bye.

Arminians have amnesia and don't recall the bondage of keeping women from preaching and the slaves from being free. The oldest protestant church has learned from their mistakes. Their not going to make another one ever again. Praise God for His Almighty work in the PCUSA. |

Well, people are moving with the times. |
