The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Evangelical Reformed Presbyterian

Thanks for directing me to the edited post. I had missed that.

And I do very much agree with your assessment of the PCA's foot dragging on this issue.

I think that history does, at least in America, back up your opinion of the working realities of Presbyterian church government. It takes a long time to go through the paces and what happens, from my limited observation, is that while the issues are being systematically brought to the General Assembly though channels, inroads are being made within the local churches and before the GA can rule, it's already too late.

I don't really see this as much a problem with Presbyterian church government as it is a problem with the increased speed at which these heresies are able to be spread on the internet and thus to the local churches. I just don't think the men who are in positions to deal with these issues have yet fully grappled with the necessity for speed and decisiveness in this day of instant information.

That's a theory based on my very limited observations as a member of the PCA.
