PCUSA Getting Vague About the Trinity?
The next General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA will be asked to ratify a report that seems to take liberties with biblical language and doctrine. See "Trinity paper invites female view of Trinity" by John Adams in The Layman Online, http://www.layman.org/layman/news/2006-news/trinity-paper-invites-female-view.htm .
It seems some PCUSA ministers are uncomfortable with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and would prefer to speak in terms of "Mother, Child, and Womb." The ten authors of the report are mostly feminists or men who have urged their church to affirm homosexual relationships. As described by Mr. Adams, their report contains a great deal of shilly-shallying that boils down to one thing--they don't like God's word the way it is.
At the rate the PCUSA is driving members out of its fold, you'd think they'd want to stop doing it while there were still a few people left in the denomination. Besides feminists and gay activists, I mean. Mr. Adams, who has taken on the depressing job of monitoring his denomination's vital signs, has admitted (in a conversation with me) that the prognosis is not good.
Since the days of Tyndale, and the invention of the printing press, it's no good pretending certain things are in the Bible when anyone can open it up and see they're not. Feminist theology is one of those things. It's poisoning those denominations who indulge in it.
