Your wisdo...thank you for your thoughtful response.<br />Your wisdom has helped me process what is happening<br />in the PC USA. I have had a hard time understanding the group of people who want the Evangelicals to "get along"<br />and remain in the midst of decisions that are opposed to everything we believe from Scripture as essential.<br />Jack Haberer is one who pushes this and I have <br />felt more frustration with the Outlook than even the most <br />liberal advocates. I totally agree that the this is the line coming out of PUP that was damaging to our <br />denomination. <br />Thanks for your loving but firm response, that gives me an example of forbearance and understanding.Linda Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-73066061131735873132014-08-06T12:48:11.572-07:002014-08-06T12:48:11.572-07:00Systemic dysfunction trains everyone in the system...Systemic dysfunction trains everyone in the system to serve the dysfunction. When a party threatens to leave the dysfunction, those who are trained by the dysfunction double down on efforts to keep all parties on board. When a party does leave, that party becomes the third-party enemy of those who remain. Who are the other two parties? One party is the group that agrees with the trajectory of the dysfunction. The other party, while sympathetic to the departing party, loathes the departing party's exit. Until the dysfunction is addressed, health only comes to the departing party.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616465721782725608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-36146052920678087292014-08-06T11:20:44.405-07:002014-08-06T11:20:44.405-07:00Paul, that sums up a great deal.Paul, that sums up a great deal.Viola Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146967423654966140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-76404749980515792562014-08-06T10:41:12.408-07:002014-08-06T10:41:12.408-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-85838926670131640402014-08-05T13:03:23.269-07:002014-08-05T13:03:23.269-07:00When the actions of Assemblies are ignored or chan...When the actions of Assemblies are ignored or changed by administrative and judicial fiat, then something other than Presbyterianism is happening.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616465721782725608noreply@blogger.com
