Here is an occasion for thanksgiving, along with a need for continued prayer. Yesterday, the Northwest Presbytery of the PCA approved a report finding Peter Leithart within the boundaries of the Westminster Confession. There was minority report that found differently, but the vote at presbytery was strongly in Peter’s favor.
The need for continued prayer is because the minister who drafted the minority report has said that he is not going to drop the issue, which means that it will make its way to General Assembly.
We have heard from Peter (before he knew how the vote would go) that the whole process was preeminently fair and judicious. So please thank the Lord with us, and please pray that if this case does wend its way to General Assembly that the whole thing will continue to be fair and judicious. Please pray that the handling of this will not resemble in any way the techniques of Louisiana bearskinning.
