DR. PARKER T. WILLIAMSON "Evangelicals in the PCUSA"

MP3 Available Here

DR. PARKER T. WILLIAMSON, Executive Editor of The Layman , a publication of the Presbyterian Lay Committee (a Conservative, Reformational & Evangelical voice within Presbyterianism seeking to draw those within the predominantly liberal PCUSA and other denominations currently dominated by liberal ideology & theology back to their Bible-based, Christ-centered, God-honoring roots), will address the theme of his new book: BROKEN COVENANT: SIGNS OF A SHATTERED COMMUNION.

According to its publishers,"The history of the Presbyterian Church between 1926 and 2006 reveals a pattern. In the courtroom, it is called ‘the preponderance of evidence.’ That pattern discloses an ongoing accommodation to the world – the bartering and brokering of a precious gift from the Lord, the church’s moral authority. Broken Covenant: Signs of a Shattered Communion traces the squandering of that moral authority by the Presbyterian Church (USA). The documentation that is cited in this book invites an inevitable conclusion. The denomination has abandoned its constitutive commitment to Christian faith and ethics, thereby forfeiting its claim to be called the Church of Jesus Christ. No rational observer disputes the fact that the Presbyterian Church (USA) is dying. What remains at issue is the question, “Why?” By what alchemy did a denomination’s passion for influencing American culture result in its irrelevance? How did Presbyterians who sought to renew their church accelerate its approaching demise?" Blending archival evidence with the firsthand observations of a churchman, theologian and journalist, Parker T. Williamson offers answers to these questions.

Cohosting today's broadcast will be two Conservative, Evangelical ministers still remaining as a Biblically faithful voice within the PCUSA denomination, PASTOR THOMAS SUTTER of First Presbyterian Church, Babylon, Long Island, NY and PASTOR DAVID ALDRIDGE of Central Presbyterian Church, Huntington, Long Island, NY.
