1/5
This appears to be the #pcaga's new normal, what many in the PCA now appear to accept and support as the reasonable middle. Self-righteously positioning oneself in between the "two main culprits." And then identifying those culprits as:
2/5
Culprit #1: “Sort of Wilsonite, jaded, red-pilled men, sort of more toward hyper-patriarchy, priests of their family. We have this side.”
Culprit #2: "And then we have the other side.”
3/5 “. . . @kkdumez @sheilagregoire @bethallisonbarr @aimeebyrdPYW @R_Denhollander. . . screeching about how men are just NEVER trustworthy, and in order for the church to be a safe space for women, women have to run it."
4/5
"So we've got both of those competing voices shouting into the void.”

We live in hope, so I can say this. There is no need to make yourself a "void," unable to hear and receive the wisdom that @kkdumez @sheilagregoire @bethallisonbarr @aimeebyrdPYW & @R_Denhollander offer.
5/5 Instead of following the antichrist advice to "block them out"/"shut them down," why not move towards Jesus, where one will come to see the Christ-like wisdom, courage, integrity, and intelligence of @kkdumez @sheilagregoire @bethallisonbarr @aimeebyrdPYW @R_Denhollander.
(6/5 Also, instead of lying about them, why not represent them accurately?)

1/ Niche Presbyterian 🧵:
After 35 yrs in the @PCAByFaith, and 35 yrs of reading a beautifully clear passage like Gal 3:28 through the lens of a difficult passage like 1 Tim 2:12, I finally learned to follow the wisdom of our Westminster Confession of Faith.
2/ “The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself: and therefore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly” (I.IX).
3/ For me, this now means allowing beautiful & clear passages like Gal 3:28 (in Christ there is neither male nor female) to guide my understanding of a difficult passage like 1 Tim 2:12 (“I don’t permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man”), rather than vice versa.

💯% agree with @BrentNeas when he says, “The church is no place for men to try to obtain power for their own desires.” He misunderstands a few things, though:
1. I’ve almost certainly spent as much if not more time considering the details (incl. documents, etc.) of this case as any man on the SJC as I have been tracking it and praying about it for close to 2.5 years.
2. I’ve been living and working in the real world my whole adult life, including a deployment into a combat zone.

1/ As a former member of the Presbyterian Church in America’s Standing Judicial Commission (“Supreme Court”) and longtime pastor in the PCA, I need to speak out against the vile miscarriage of justice in the #pcaga ruling in the Dan Herron trial.
2/ I am not able (and never will be) to say all that needs to be said. I will be adding to this thread for the foreseeable future. But I want to say three things upfront:
3/ * I resigned my membership in the PCA 2 yrs ago in part because of the rampant & growing misogyny I was experiencing. My effigy was subsequently excommunicated for leaving in ☮️ (cf. this other 🧵); so I write this as a former “insider”/now “outsider” twitter.com/jdhutch64/stat

Excommunicating an Effigy: A Ponderously Overlong Niche Twitter 🧵 With Receipts

(This time more competently formatted as an ACTUAL THREAD for your reading pleasure 🫤)

1/x Image
Now that my former Presbytery, the Southern New England Presbytery (SNEP) of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) has excommunicated my effigy I have a few thoughts.

2/x
I am thankful for my 35 years as a member and minister in the PCA and want God to bless her people, her churches, her ministers, etc.;

3/x
