Faithful Presbyterians may start new denomination
Members of the Presbyterian Church-USA who believe themselves bound by Christian sexual ethics are considering following the lead of ELCA conservatives and starting their own denomination.
It remains to be seen whether the new church body repeats the mistakes of the Lutheran Churches in Mission for Christ and the North American Lutheran Church by ignoring the prohibition of women's ordination in 1 Timothy 2:12 and disregarding the theology of I Corinthians 11:17-37 by embracing the "anybody who likes crackers and wine come on down" approach to the Sacrament known as open communion.
Having learned nothing from history, the LCMS and NALC are doomed to repeat it. They will be smaller versions of the ELCA within a generation.
