PCUSA

“While still the largest Presbyterian denomination in the country, in 2016 PCUSA saw a loss of nearly 90,000 members, slipping below the 1.5 million-member mark. This is nearly 300,000 fewer members than in 2013.”

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.

This reminds me of a time I was on a concrete job and a neighbor came over and asked for advice on making a concrete sign for their church. Naturally I asked what church it was and she named a Presbyterian one. I asked if they were PCUSA or PCA. Her response? “I can’t remember but we’re the ones that don’t think God hates gays and women.”
