It’s Been Five Years and the Time is Right: An Earnest Appeal to the Authors of 2020’s Heinous Killings Statement at ByFaith
It is now five years since an anonymous group of Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) agency heads and permanent committee coordinators issued a statement on “heinous killings”
For now it is enough to see that the fevered outbreak it got caught up in has lost much of its momentum and been shown to be the egregious bit of mass hysteria and folly that some always knew it was.

An Answer to the Critics of Jesus Calling
Since Sarah passed away in 2023, it falls to us, her family, to bring clarity to another wave of misinformed criticism that has now infiltrated the PCA that Sarah loved and served for decades.
