I recently sat down with pastor and historian @SeanMLucas to talk about the founding vision of the PCA for the Alliance for Mission & Renewal.
I hope it will help familiarize PCA pastors, members, and those journeying into the PCA with our history & vision as a denomination. 👇

As @timkellernyc argued in his 1999 article The Original PCA “Contract,” the PCA provided at its founding the opportunity to stand for ancient truth without compromise while avoiding unnecessary division over minor matters and remaining effective in ministry and mission. This “contract” constituted a mutual understanding among the founders “that the PCA was going to allow for Reformed diversity at more points than the smaller denominations had done, but also to insist on uniformity on far more issues than the mainline churches had done. The result was a unique ‘PCA balance’ of diversity and uniformity, of truth and love, which was going to be an alternative to any other American Reformed body.”

We're *not* claiming this is a unique vulnerability to women.
A 26 year old *male* seminary student cannot meaningfully consent to a sex with his professor or admin, either, especially if that person had symbolically "adopted" him into her family.

The circumcision convo was never a complaint #blakelively made; here it was used to show an example of the kind of poor boundaries that #justinbaldoni would later display on set.
😳 Justin Baldoni apparently testified that he told Blake Lively he was circumcised without her directly asking.

A Muslim man named Farooq approaches a Jewish rabbi to express his sorrow and apologise for what happened, followed by a heartfelt exchange, is truly powerful. While there is a lot of darkness in the world, gestures like these remind us that compassion, unity, and mutual respect still prevail.

Regarding discrimination and white men, a few things are true at once:
1) The more we rid ourselves of discrimination and the legacy of discrimination and grant equal opportunity to women and people of all races and ethnicities, the more that the percentage of white guys in any given industry (with some exceptions, of course, not all professions are the same) will fall back closer to their general percentage of the population. So, over time, you should expect to see lower percentages of white men in any given field compared to historic norms.
2) At the same time, if you try to hasten that natural and just process with explicit anti-white discrimination, then you're 1) going to violate federal civil rights laws; and 2) you're going to generate deep bitterness and righteous anger in people who know they've faced discrimination.
Equal opportunity is lawful, just, and necessary, and it will (and has!) changed society and the job market in many, many ways -- including in ways that dominant groups might not like. Racial discrimination is unlawful, unjust, and unnecessary, and it divides and embitters our nation, just as it always has.

Oh but everyone hates #BlakeLively though long term relationships from sets are at her event this past week!

And this is what fraudoni crazies do to everyone who was on set, who stands by #BlakeLively they weren't paid off,or lying, people just don't want to admit they are wrong & fell for a smear campaign. Just plan to keep harassing everyone thinking they'll change their side?
They will continue to say this doesn't matter for this excuse, so forth. Its something new everyday! It's a pattern of women saying it was a toxic, uncomfortable workplace. #BlakeLively also has witnesses to her allegations. Now even w/ more women its oh she paid or its not sh

All of these people didn't betray fraudoni! He and jamey ran a shit show for a set that #BlakeLively & Brandon actually saved, best acting of the movie. And w/ blake & every producer practically doing their job vs worrying about sex scenes a decent movie was made

There's a gen nature to push for a settlement. Like my own work arbitration we did do a mediation though that was a waste of time, the other side took it so not seriously. Mediator spent hours that day advocating for a fair # just like #BlakeLively i dealt w/ ego & narcissists
Amy retweeted
its a preview liman will not grant a dismissal or summ judgement if he feels settlement is best here. And further knowing he has to yet again look at discovery wayfarer has been withholding on privilege basis, every other time it hasn't been! Clear #BlakeLively has stronger case
Arbitrator later encouraged it, when dealing w/ these types of of men. They don't listen! We did win, clear all the evidence we had. Judge here has seen it all, putting forth some schedule to discuss this especially now, very clear he feels #BlakeLively is owed something
Amy retweeted
Have to admit im still dumbfounded and laughing so hard right now that some fraudoni nut thinks in settlement #blakelively would pay off Justin! But more importantly be telling me I need to read more than headlines & doesn't even understand the basic dynamics of the case 🤣🤣
Trying to catch my breath from the laughter! This person is telling me to follow the case better, but that she thinks for the case of #BlakeLively that in the judge ordering settlement talks that Blake settling HER case means she would pay fraudoni $ 🤣🤣 im almost speechless!

#swifties please do not be dumb enough to keep falling for this #TaylorSwift distraction lie. They are having to likely turn over damning evidence so they are trying to get people mad at #blakelively again with lies
Awww desperation from fraudoni weirdos again on #TaylorSwift tiktok.com/t/ZTr44XHvF/ going back to the text threat lie that #BlakeLively is threatening to release texts 🤣🤣 they must really have nothing to go back to this lie

How anyone can read about all the additions this perv wanted by way of sex scenes, being so graphic, for a movie where the focus should have been on DV, just insane! Behavior with #BlakeLively nearly every woman on set has more than enough to say thru experiences or witnessing
Amy retweeted
tiktok.com/t/ZTrgXJLxD/ Brandon still supporting #blakelively love to see it. Nice that Brandon got himself the role because he is good at his job and certainly a good word from a safe male to have on set well I guess that's bare minimum in Hollywood. But Brandon stands w/ blake!

Funny how many times the Holy Spirit speaks through secular means. I remember the day I listened to Billy Joel's innocent man song and it healed me. I recognized the innocent man was Jesus. Desperado by Linda Ronstadt is another ministering sermon to many people building fences around themselves to keep attempts at healing them out. These remarks aren't for everyone and will probably make me sustain many insults today but, oh well.
