The West Hollywood PC to leave PCUSA for more liberal United Church of Church

The West Hollywood Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles plans to formally join the ranks of the more liberal United Church of Christ on Saturday.

• The West Hollywood Presbyterian Church
• Los Angeles
• Presbytery of the Pacific
• voted on Tuesday to let the 99-year-old parish keep property
• "gracious-dismissal" policy

As throngs of religious conservatives break from the PCUSA over the ordination of gay ministers, a small gay-led California parish is staging a schism of its own, saying the church has done too little to accept homosexuality.
