Gospel Reformation Network Hosting Pre-Assembly Conference at PCA GA

Hope for unity in the PCA through the gospel

Written by Mike Ross | Tuesday, June 11, 2013

In my humble opinion (but one informed by over three decades of ministry in the PCA), our denomination is riddled with anger, pride, jealousy, competition, factions, with not a few “celebrity pastors” who drive the engines of party strife in our midst.

A Small Church Pastor looks at the PCA General Assembly.

We have major issues among us that cannot be ignored indefinitely.

Written by David Gilleran | Friday, July 6, 2012

We cannot continue to amend our Standards by exception. Again, on this issue and others as well, if there are those who do not believe our current Standards are an accurate exposition of Scripture, then submit overtures [proposing changes] to the General Assembly for debate.

Dr. Neal Presa elected moderator of the 220th PCUSA General Assembly

Written by Don Clements | Sunday, July 1, 2012

Presa began by saying "together we stand, divided we freak out." He said that his presbytery -- Elizabeth -- dismissed its first congregation to ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians recently. He said that throughout the conversations between the presbytery and session "we came to a mutual discovery that the particular congregation is leaving -- not because they see we are apostate or unorthodox -- but because they could not live with the broadness" of the PCUSA.

"Board of Deacons” may only include men who are elected, ordained, and installed

Written by Wes White | Monday, June 25, 2012

Five years ago, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America took issue with an action of Northern California Presbytery and Philadelphia Presbytery in a matter related to deaconesses. The result was two years of debate about whether or not we should study the issue, and the PCA said that it did not want to do so.

Affirming the necessity of retaining Bible translations to Muslims that use the biologically familial terms of "Father" and "Son"

Written by Don K. Clements | Sunday, June 24, 2012

Muslim Idiom Translations have translated these terms with such substitutes as "representative" and "guardian." This action will give guidance to churches supporting translation work, a resource to our mission agency, and place pressure on translation agencies to hold to biblical standards for translation.
