The Layman is an online news source whose stated mission is to provide reliable information concerning significant issues confronting Presbyterians.  At one time The Layman published a newspaper.  For many years it was delivered to Beverly Heights Church and I used to read it, religiously, because they published stories detailing the liberalizing demise of the PCUSA.   

In this special edition of the Parhessian Podcast, Peter, Kyle, and I take on the mantle of The Layman as we discuss the recent Presbytery of the Alleghenies meeting held on Saturday, September 21, 2024. Sadly, there are many concerning issues to report.  

The POA not only continued its abuse of power, but there is evidence of evangelical dark money flowing into the denomination, sympathy for open borders, erosion of ordinational standards, continued disregard for constitutional fidelity, and more.  

In fact, the situation has become so bad, that it appears as though the Evangelical Presbyterian Church is now functioning more like a tyranny than a denomination.  But in the face of tyranny, we remember the courageous words of John Knox who said, “Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.” And so, we obey God.

If you’d like to learn more about what took place at the meeting or how the EPC continues to drift toward compromise, then please take a listen to the podcast.
