Hello @MarkMeadows . Since you asked for a private meeting & my pastoral counsel when you first ran for office, I wonder if you’d still like it, even though you’re no longer an elected official? If not, I understand. But if so here it is: You can’t fool God; come clean & be free.

8/ The PCA I entered into welcomed and empowered black men like @JemarTisby and @MalcolmBFoley . The *current* PCA silences, expels, and demonizes them.

It has taken me years to get to the point where I can publicly share my experiences of racism in Reformed and evangelical spaces. This is my testimony. This is my witness. #LeaveLOUD @TheWitnessBCC 🎧:

1. Utterly grievous. May God be with the victims. 2. Not surprising, sadly. The #pcaga is who the #pcaga is. 3. The reasoning, assuming it’s on par w/the preliminary ruling, is pure sophistry. 4. The PCA is not a safe space for women, or anyone. It is safe for some UNTIL IT ISN’T

The Presbyterian ChurchMen have concluded their ChurchMan business & duly communicated this to other ChurchMen. "Fathers and Brothers, Please find attached the final decision of the Standing Judicial Commission in Case 2022-10, PCA v. TE Daniel Herron ...

@aaronjhann George Bourne — who I had never heard of before this thread — now replaces Reepicheep, Hermione Granger, Walker Percy, Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Albert Pujols, Bono, my own brother, my own father, and Jason Bourne himself, AS MY GREATEST HERO.

He offered his help — help he has apparently given to dozens of others around the PCA who have suffered similar stories of spiritual abuse — help for which I was and am deeply grateful. 49/x

@newvangelicals Yep. “You,” “are,” “saved,” “by,” “grace,” “through,” and “faith” all narrowly defined by white male conservative 20/21st century American Protestant (I’m all of those, btw 😁) gatekeepers; all the while oblivious to the grief their narrow definitions bring the Holy Spirit.

@JosiahHawthorne This is brilliant. And the “Jesus” that these violent and tiresome people believe in is a synchronistic mash up of Jesus and John Wayne; i.e. Tashlan, not Aslan.

Real journalism is such a profound gift to *everyone.* [Also worth noting how many people requested (& received) anonymity *out of fears of reprisals*!!! Almost as if there is no difference between the culture of this church/denomination and the culture of our fallen world.]

🧵A backstory on the making of this article, which mainly deals with CPC. But it comes out of my reporting more broadly on the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and the Nashville Presbytery’s handling of Sauls’ discipline… 🧵

18/ 📬 Members of the PCA, both clergy and laity, who are grieving the ongoing injustice of this and similar situations within the church. 📬 Fellow sufferers in other settings who have endured/are enduring similar injustices and sufferings.

10/ The PCA I entered into was (rightly) aghast at President Clinton’s betrayal of his marriage vows. The *current* PCA is full of pastors and leaders who condone, play the corrupt “what about” game, or remain complicity silent in the face of Donald Trump’s multiple betrayals.

64d/x Rather, I was referring to what I have observed to be an “increasing” devotion within the PCA to extra-confessional and contra-confessional parachurch expressions of patriarchy, like the CBMW. In my view the PCA ought to purge itself of that toxic and destructive nonsense.

12/ The PCA I entered into was a faithful, supportive, & participating member of the @NAEvangelicals . The *current* PCA voiced its hostility towards the NAE’s support of racial justice & environmental stewardship; and voted to dissolve its relationship with the NAE last Summer.

@PastorAndyWebb @AnnaCaudill4 @SarahShoop33 @GOP @Justinjpearson @TNGOP Hi Andy. I’ve known you for a lot of years and we’ve even partnered on some things over the years. As a White Male Cisgender Conservative Christian I agree with @AnnaCaudill4 . She asked you to keep your foul hate out of her timeline, so you should do that. Thank you.

Both are ministers in good standing in the PCA. I spent 35+ years in the #pcaga and became increasingly aware of the prevalence of such vile and godless views. A haunting Q: Was the high percentage always there (and I was just becoming more aware), or was the percentage growing?

Fact: if you can draw a circle, you can make a Venn diagram depicting the overlap between “dudes who use the Bible to legitimize gender hierarchy” and “dudes who admire 19th C theologians who used the Bible to legitimize racial hierarchy.”
