The Cliff Neareth!

Our (PCUSA) General Assembly meets soon. It's a stacked deck. Conservatives have absolutely no chance on any important vote, such as same sex marriage. The commissioners from small churches have no idea they will be boondoggled into voting the liberal view. They don't have the foggiest idea what is going on as the GA proceeds. Our former beloved denomination is dying and liberals are rejoicing. The average pew sitter is sitting on his/her hands while the church burns. How very sad!

The train is headed for the cliff and 'heads in the sand' keep trying to portray it otherwise. Many conservatives are doing absolutely nothing. Many of their pastors are strangely silent. But they have their excuses...so...?

We (the PCUSA) was once composed on more than 4,000,000 members. Today we are less than 2,000,000. We have lost more than 2,000,000 members since my ordination in 1964. Yet, the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly says the PCUSA is "soaring with hope"!  What planet does he live on...?

Talking about a stacked deck: I was the advocate for a presbytery at a GA meeting in Tuscaloosa, AL, regarding a resolution before a committee. After I made my appeal, the chair of the committee (who opposed the resolution) told me the issue would be taken up at 2 pm the next day. The next day he called the issue to a vote early in the morning without telling me of the time change. He was in bed with the GA staff.
