Contrary to what the Freedom-Haters would have us believe about the demographic groups that they want to anoint with victim status, those groups do not march in lockstep. A formerly Christian organization that is now simply another sewer of Leftism experiences
yet another thinning of its ranks, a process that has been going on for decades:
A coalition of 34,000 black churches has cut its ties with the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) in the wake of its recent vote to approve same-sex marriage.
In a statement at Charisma News, Rev. Anthony Evans, president of the National Black Church Initiative (NBCI), wrote that PCUSA’s “arbitrary change of Holy Scripture is a flagrantly pretentious and illegitimate maneuver by a body that has no authority whatsoever to alter holy text.”
After endorsing same-sex marriage last June, PCUSA voted earlier this month to revise its constitutional language defining marriage to include a “commitment between two people.” The church became the largest Protestant group to formally recognize same-sex marriage as a Christian institution and to permit same-sex weddings in its congregations.
Good move, Reverend Evans.
