PCUSA or Else!
Heartland Presbytery has voted an Administration Commision with unprecedented powers. Either the AC or the Council can declare any church to be in schism and remove the pastors, session, take over the property of any church under their jurisdiction.
The supporters say this is in response to pastors out of control and using "illegal" means to leave the denomination.
Detractors says this is suppressing dialog, and in violation of the Book of Order. Leaving the denomination is an option called for in the BOO, so how can using this option be "illegal?"
I agree with others that this is too similar to the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC or HCUA) (1938–1975)!
Your information is very helpful.
