1/ When the Southern Poverty Law Center reported on our efforts to root out racism, some in the PCA were furious with us; but that Summer Tim Keller sought me out at General Assembly and publicly thanked me for the part I played. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/… 2/ Three years later, when our daughter was offered a scholarship to be a year-round resident student at The School of American Ballet in NYC, one of the reasons we could say yes, sending our 13 year-old to live at the Lincoln Center, was the presence of Tim Keller and Redeemer.

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).

I know I will never be able to do enough to repent and make restitution for my 35+ years in the PCA and the part I played to grow and expand a system built on a foundation of racism and misogyny. 2/ But one thing I can do is pray for & appeal to the brothers and sisters of good faith still in that denomination.

💯% 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.

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:
