Welcome to our web site!

This website addresses some of the theological struggles within the PCUSA (Presbyterian Church U.S.A., presbyterian denomination), over the past decade 
 
With the passage of the PUP report by a 54% affirmative vote during the 2006 General Assembly, followed by the events of the 2008 General Assembly, which resulted in the narrow rejection of Amendment 08-B by the Presbyteries, and, finally, the passage of Amendment 10-A by the 2010 General Assembly, (and the subsequent ratification by a majority of the Presbyteries), the theological landscape of the PCUSA has changed.  The Two Synod Solution represented a constitutional restructuring and reorganization proposal which sought to allow groups within the denomination, with different theological views, to continue to work together, and maintain their spiritual integrity

Why a Two Synod Denomination?

The PCUSA and its predecessors, the UPUSA and PCUS, have, for many decades, consisted of two theological schools, the Progressives, and the Evangelicals.  The Progressives adhere to the Auburn Confession and the Confession of 1967, from the prior UPUSA denomination, and have focused on political action and social causes.  The Evangelicals have adhered to traditional, reformed, orthodox theological standards and confessions, based on the original texts and letters that constitute the New Testament Canon and the Old Testament Canon.  The Evangelicals closely follow Biblical standards, as set forth in the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, and to a degree the Westminster Confession of Faith.  The Evangelicals also feel that the propagation of the Good News of what Christ Jesus has accomplished for us on the Cross, (e.g. uniting individuals in a real and personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, by His substitutionary death, on the cross, in our place), is primary.

The need for Spiritual Integrity:

The original passage of the PUP report and reinterpretation of the Trinity, placed both of the theological schools on a collision course, (with each of the two theological school's interpretation of the scriptures, and their spiritual integrity, being directly challenged).  The Evangelicals felt that the re-interpretation of basic Christian Doctrines such as the Trinity, the singularity of Jesus Christ as the only way to reconcile and begin a relationship with God the Father, and departures from scriptural views of human sexuality, amounted to an assault on Biblical Authority.  Each camp feels the need to protect their Spiritual Integrity, in these matters, in order to fully serve the Lord Jesus Christ, in their various ministries.
