Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. MILWAUKEE—The 227th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) voted last week 454-15 to adopt RIW-04, declaring that the government of Israel... Continue Reading
PCA Adopts Danvers Statement Endorsing Complementarianism
The Danvers Statement’s three sections outline its rationale, purposes and affirmations. Purposes outlined in the document include setting a biblical view of the relationship between men and women, at home and church, as well as continued study among all to apply Scripture’s teachings on manhood and womanhood.
“The Presbyterian Church in America is a pace-setting denomination within evangelicalism,” said CBMW President and Boyce College Professor Denny Burk. “I am grateful that they declared the Danvers Statement a faithful declaration of biblical conviction. This kind of clarity will serve their churches well. I’m also grateful that the PCA voted decisively to maintain its... Continue Reading
PCUSA Votes Clergy Monogamy Overture out of Order, Refers for Further Study: ‘Moral Chaos’
Part of the strategy behind the overture was to expose how radically liberal some elements within the PCUSA have become.
The overture and the pushback it received within the increasingly liberal PCUSA prompted national headlines. Three committees in the denomination—the Advocacy Committee for Women and Gender Justice, the Advocacy Committee on LGBTQIA+ Equity and the Advisory Committee on Social Witness Policy—appended “advice and counsel” against the overture after it was introduced. A committee of... Continue Reading
Soft Jihad: Multiculturalism, Islamic Conquest, and Christianity
Islam is on a mission, whether or not all Western Muslims even know it yet.
The success of “soft Jihad” and the gradual normalisation of Islamic cultural conquest in formerly Christian nations is enabled by the Christians who refuse to stand up to it. We have become accustomed in our time to opposing things which we ought to have defended and welcoming things which we ought to have opposed. When... Continue Reading
Principled Polytheism and the PCA
A view on the Westminster Larger Catechism Questions 108 and 109
My position is derived from understanding the reason for the change to WLC 109 and the omitting of any change whatsoever to WLC 108. In WLC 109 regarding what sins are forbidden in the second commandment, the original version (1646) said that “tolerating a false religion” is breaking the second commandment. Our American forefathers removed... Continue Reading

PCA 2026 General Assembly Report
A report of the Presbyterian Church in America General Assembly that met in Louisville, KY, June 23-26, 2006.
It is clear the efforts of the Old School wing of the PCA to clean house, sharpen our theology, and clarify our constitution are bearing fruit.

The PCA’s 2026 Louisville Assembly: Revival of the Right
With the election of Fred Greco and a fairly conservative MNA search committee, along with key elections to major committees, the right-wing would see this year as a success.
Outcomes of this Assembly could perhaps settle some matters, sparing continued advocacy for the near term. Then, again, the PCA may have over one hundred overtures next time around if the enthusiasm for procedural improvement continues. Between the assemblies, attention had been given to the nomination of the next Stated Clerk and the attempts... Continue Reading
