Today, in Valdosta, Flint River Presbytery passed a policy on dismissal of congregations from the PC(USA) to another reformed denomination. Three months ago, the first time this idea came up, we brought it up based on anxiety. Now, we do so for prevention.
Such a policy will have little bearing on the success of the gospel. Where Christ is preached, and him crucified, the Word will find soil. The question is not: is our polity successful? The question should be: does our polity equip its members to be "Christ's faithful evangelist" as the Book of Order proclaims its ministry to be?
When we answer this question, all others will melt away.
