Description

This book is an indictment of the leadership elite who have driven the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), or PCUSA, into an utter debacle.
The most visible aspect of this debacle is the unprecedented loss of membership and churches that occurred between 2011 and 2017.  Over that time span the PCUSA experienced a net loss of 601,000 members and 1146 churches, which is almost 30% of its membership and almost 12% of its churches.  But these numbers don’t capture the human cost in broken trust, lost faith and shattered relationships that has occurred behind the scenes.
What remains is a denomination dominated by a post-Christian elite who use their power to advance a social gospel that is virtually indistinguishable from the secular Progressive political project.  To some readers this charge against the PCUSA leadership will seem to be not just extraordinary, but also unbelievable.  This book contains the extraordinary evidence that justifies the charge.
