“Now I realized that I was in grave error. “Side B” is not good for the Church. Our doctrinal standards do not allow for Revoice’s stance towards so-called “LGBTQ” issues. The PCA should not leave room for the “Side B” position, for it is not in accord with sound doctrine. I am sorry that I thought otherwise, and I wholeheartedly repent before all of you and ask for your forgiveness.”

Its been almost 6 years and as many rounds of Overtures since the first Revoice Conference marking the official “coming out” of Side-B Gay Christianity within the PCA.  During that time, those of us seeking to push-back on this harmful ideology have been called “southern moralistic pietists” on social media and characterized in USA Today and Yahoo by a PCA Pastor as “a couple thousand mostly older white, churchgoing, Southern, heterosexual religious conservatives with children and grandchildren and seersucker suits.”

Rhetoric and smear campaigns not withstanding, many good things have happened in the PCA with regard to these issues since they first reared their head back in 2018.  The Nashville Statement was declared Biblically Faithful in 2019.  The AIC Report on Human Sexuality passed in 2021. The Church and pastor who brought this controversy to the PCA left the denomination in 2022.  Overtures to amend the Book of Church Order regarding this issue were passed in 2022 and 2023, the last of which will be ratified at the 2024 General Assembly. Also, in somewhat related news, a Statement by the PCA regarding transgenderism which calls on the US and State governments to put an end to chemical and surgical gender reassignment surgeries has been sent out by the Stated Clerks of the denomination and the individual presbyteries to government agencies.

Yet, after all of this, just this past week (Feb. 2024), there are PCA pastors questioning what Side-B is on X.com as well as attacking Rosaria Butterfield for condemning Revoice and Side-B publicly as noted in this article. For instance, multiple Officers in the PCA questioned if Butterfield actually still agrees with the Nashville Statement to which she is a signatory. This, despite that her comments are perfectly in-line with the Nashville Statement. Other TEs took to ad hominem attacks such as:

I considered RB sus after reader her first book. When you go from where she was before her conversion to becoming an advocate of exclusive psalmody, you’re dealing with a person who apparently can only live in the extremes. (here)
