Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur
The EPC removed itself from the PC(USA) in peaceful departure, being more conservative than that body, but as anyone conformed to Westminster knows, vow-taking is a serious matter. Under requirements by the UPC to appoint women as elders the churches had taken vows to their elders and pastors before God. Would any have them deny what they vowed to God?It should be noted that while known as the most Liberal, the PC(USA) is not the only Presbyterian denomination which allows female teaching elders/pastors. The Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) and the Cumberland Presbyterian Church (the first presbyterian denomination to ordain a woman, in 1889) do as well.
Instead the EPC churches are carrying out their vows. Would that all churches would preserve the vows they have made before God, even to their humility or hurt.
